My Song - Labi Siffre

She said, I was seven and you were nine I looked at you like the stars that shine In the sky, the pretty lights And our daddies used to joke about the two of us Growing up and falling in love and our mamas smiled And rolled their eyes and said oh my my my Take me back to the house in the backyard tree Said you'd beat me up, you were bigger than me You never did, you never did Take me back when our world was one block wide I dared you to kiss me and ran when you tried Just two kids, you and I Oh my my my my Well, I was sixteen when suddenly I wasn't that little girl you used to see But your eyes still shined like pretty lights And our daddies used to joke about the two of us They never believed we'd really fall in love And our mamas smiled and rolled their eyes And said oh my my my Take me back to the creek beds we turned up Two A.M. riding in your truck and all I need is you next to me Take me back to the time we had our very first fight The slamming of doors instead of kissing goodnight You stayed outside till the morning light Oh my my my my A few years had gone and come around We were sitting at our favorite spot in town And you looked at me, got down on one knee Take me back to the time when we walked down the aisle Our whole town came and our mamas cried You said I do and I did too Take me home where we met so many years before We'll rock our babies on that very front porch After all this time, you and I I'll be eighty-seven; you'll be eighty-nine I'll still look at you like the stars that shine In the sky, oh my my my

There's a beat comin' from somewhere other than my chest There's words that stir up dust and the peace that I will rest A melody to ease the mind long after I've lost mine I will, but my song will never die I don't know the day, I don't know the time But one day, my Bonnie ain't gonna have her Clyde And I know I'll be leavin' somewhere further down the line I will, but my song will never die When I hear that hallelujah chorus callin' me back home I'll lay down this guitar and someone else can sing my songs It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die True words are rare birds, they heal up broken hearts They sing through rusty strings on beat up old guitar The notes are always changin', but truth stands the test of time I will, but my song will never die Oh, when I hear that hallelujah chorus callin' me back home I'll lay down this guitar and someone else can sing my songs It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die When my name ain't nothing more than just letters on a stone Or flowers in a field, full of other sinners gone It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die I will, but my song will never die When I hear that hallelujah chorus callin' me back home I'll lay down this guitar and someone else can sing my songs It ain't about the leavin', it's in what you leave behind I will, but my song will never die Oh, I will, but my song will never die

I don't think I could sing this song to you Hold my lips and power through Think about a different day I don't think I can do this without tears Pick a moment, fly the years What will there be left to say? Oh, my life is a song for you Oh, my life is a song for you I don't think I could hide you in my mind All those questions left behind Answers in forgotten dreams I don't think I could lead it like you lead Read the books that you once read Back in other lives Oh, you would hate this to be sad The moments we've had And I've just found out that life is a goddamn miracle And the ending is a song And there are a lifetime of words that I could say But I've got none I don't think I could love you any more Take a minute, feel it soar I have got this 'til I'm gone And if there is a light that tumbles through How could it just not be you hiding in the sun? Oh, you would hate this to be sad The moments we've had And I've just found out that life is a goddamn miracle And the ending is a song And there are a lifetime of words that I could say But I've got none I don't think I could sing this song to you Hold my lips and power through Think about a different day Oh, my life is a song for you Oh, my life is a song for you
