|
When they tell my story through, |
|
Will they speak of my love for you? |
|
Carved in trees down country roads, |
|
Sewn in our children's winter coats. |
|
How many sunsets? |
|
How deep the blues & the reds? |
|
How many heartbeats? |
|
How may falling leaves? |
|
How high can you fly? |
|
'Til you can't see the ground? |
|
Long after we are gone, |
|
Good love lingers on. |
|
Good love lingers on. |
|
Time's a story in reverse |
|
That trains a river to its course, |
|
& while it's carrying it away???? |
|
It's laughing in your birthday cake |
|
How many rocks thrown? |
|
How many broken bones? |
|
How many bruised knees? |
|
How many Christmas trees? |
|
How high can you fly, |
|
'Til you can't see the ground? |
|
I'm never gonna leave you |
|
& when they lay my body down |
|
My memory will find you |
|
It will echo through the ground |
|
I always meant to tell you |
|
But I always thought you knew |
|
I saw forever |
|
The moment I met you |
|
Long after we are gone, |
|
Good love lingers on |
|
Good love lingers on. |
|
The creakin' of your parents' stairs, |
|
Dancin' in our underwear |
|
Around the treehouse that we made |
|
From the year of Saturdays |
|
The sound that sails against the rain |
|
We are only on our way |
|
& if eternity is true, |
|
They will carve it out of you |
|
If eternity is true, |
|
They will carve it out of you |
|
If eternity is true, |
|
They will carve it out of you |
|
If eternity is true, |
|
They will carve it out of you |
|
If eternity is true, |
|
They will carve it out of you |
|
If eternity is true, |
|
They will carve it out of you |
|
If eternity is true, |
|
They will carve it out of you |
