But now, I'd stay forever
Well, you might recall, now, did I act carefully, did I do right?
Or were we meant to be, all of our lives
In love and harmony, all of our lives?
Oh, you might recall, now, did I act carefully, did I do right?
And all that we have been and all that we are
I wish, we'd stayed that way forever
Or were we meant to be, all of our lives
Oh, my hopes are as the leaves upon the water
In love and harmony, all of our lives?
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta
Ooh, when you were here with me
Who'd leave and start again
Come, hold me closely as near as you can
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta
You might recall, now, did I act carefully, did I do right?
Believing all that we could be
Just sunk in the night
Until we left the earth behind
So now, take my hand
Ah, the end of a life
Everyday seems summertime
And all that we have been and all that we are
Come, hold me closely, near as you can
'Cause there was a time I thought I'd be the one
Or were we meant to be, all of our lives
And maybe when you're older and you're thinking back
Just sunk in the night
Believing all that we could be
Oh, my hopes were as the leaves upon the water
And the river flow with wine
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta
'Bout how we would be together
It's funny how things can change
In love and harmony, all of our lives?
So now, take my hand
Come, hold me closely, near as you can
Or maybe when you're older and you're thinking back
Believing all that we could be
Ooh, my hopes are as the leaves upon the water
Ah, sunk in the night
Oh, the end of a life
So now, take my hand
Ah, the end of a life
Or maybe when you're older and you're thinking back
