[Verse 1]
What was it you said to me
Back in the days when things looked fine
'Bout how we would be together
Until we left the earth behind
It's funny how things can change
'Cause there was a time I thought I'd be the one
Who'd leave and start again
But now I'd stay forever
[Chorus]
Oh, my hopes are as the leaves upon the water
Just sunk in the night
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughta
Ah, the end of a life
Or maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back
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?
So now, take my hand
Come, hold me closely, as near as you can
Believing all that we could be
And all that we have been, and all that we are
[Verse 2]
Everyday seems summertime
The river flow with wine
When you were here with me
I wish we'd stayed that way forever
[Chorus]
Oh, my hopes are as the leaves upon the water
Just sunk in the night
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughta
Ah, the end of a life
Or maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back
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?
So now, take my hand
Come, hold me closely, as near as you can
Believing all that we could be
And all that we have been, and all that we are
[Chorus]
Oh, my hopes were as the leaves upon the water
Ah, sunk in the night
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughta
Oh, the end of a life
And maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back
Oh, 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?
So now, take my hand
Come, hold me closely, as near as you can
Believing all that we could be
And all that we have been, and all that we are
