when the world was young.
I was there
when the Moon met the Sun.
I was there
when you fell in love, again.
And I’ll be there
when it’s all said and done.
You don’t care
if the world crashes down.
You don’t care
which monkey wears the crown.
And I swear
when it all comes around again.
I’ll be there
to help you stand your ground.
I know in my heart that it’s not too late.
I see for your part, Amazing Graces.
Trust in my words, they’re not well spoken, but
though it’s preferred, my heart’s not broken.
I was there
when you fell apart.
I was there
when you broke his heart.
I was there
when it all came apart again.
But I was there
to make you know your heart.
I was there
when the stars were still young.
I’ll be there
to see what they become.
You take care
to whom you say you love again,
Because
One day I may not come.
PART I
I was there.
I was there.
I was there.
I was there.
repeat x3
PART II
No one lives forever.
No one lives forever.
No one lives forever.
But I tried, yeah I tried.
And I'll sit outside your door.
Say the words I've said before.
Sing the song I've sung once more,
And I'll cry, yeah I'll cry.
No one lives forever.
I have lived forever,
I won't live forever.
And I'll die, yeah I'll die.
PART III
Walking through a sunswept valley,
remembering all the things I've done and seen.
Want to know what lies ahead of me,
want to be all the things I could not be.
end parts
From quiet start to blessed ending,
I’ve done my part, and I’m still standing.
I turn away to look for something.
And to this day, I’ve still found nothing.
They say that waiting’s half the battle,
I’ve got estate, I’m raising cattle.
My time will end, I’ve no delusion.
Don’t ask me when, I’ve no conclusion.
