A Song for While I'm Away

[Verse 1] And these words I wrote, play, and sing to you Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you For this is a song for while I'm away To say all the things I'd love to say [Chorus] You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true, you're all I have Please heed me now, these words I have to say [Verse 2] And now I'm headed for the border You see, this song, it ends right at the start I swore when I was younger No one would win my heart [Chorus] You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true, you're all I have Please heed me now, these words I have to say You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true, you're all I have Please heed me now, these words I have to say [Verse 3] And far away hills look greener still But soon they'll all slip away It's then I'll be returning And I'll be comin' home to stay [Chorus] You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true, you're all I have Please heed me now, these words I have to say You are my life, my everything, you're all I have You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true, you're all I have Please heed me now
