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
