When you're drunk and your money's spent, |
|
I'll drive you home and I'll pay your rent, |
|
Say you're beautiful |
|
When you're not beautiful |
|
And when you're sick you know I'll change your sheets, |
|
I'll bring you drugs, sing you to sleep, |
|
Pray for miracles |
|
When you don't believe in miracles |
|
And all we ever need to do |
|
Is to see the world the way dreamers do |
|
And I'd say "Never say die," |
|
And you'd say, "It's a wonderful life" |
|
When you grow up, I hope you find your way, |
|
'Cos everyone seems lost these days |
|
I'll try to help |
|
Though I'm adrift myself |
|
But if I can't save you when the darkness comes, |
|
Or prove love greater than the glum |
|
I'll try to pretend |
|
Right up to the end |
|
That all we ever need to do |
|
Is to see the world the way dreamers do |
|
And I'd say "Never say die," |
|
And you'd say "It's a wonderful life" |
|
But you know, that's a wonderful lie |
|
I wrote this song long before the war, |
|
With no idea who it was for |
|
But now it's done |
|
I'm sure there's someone |
|
It was meant for |
