What was it you said to me
Back in the days when things looked fine
'Bout how we would be to - gether
Until we left the earth be - hind
Oh, it's funny how things can change
Cos there was a time I thought I'd be the one
Who'd even start a - gain
But now I stay for - ever
Ooh my hopes are as the leaves upon the water
Just sunk in the night
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughta
Ah, the end of a life
Or maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back
You might re - call
Now did I act carefully, did I do right?
Or were we meant to be, all of our lives
In love and harmony, all of our lives?
So now, take my hand
Come, hold me closely
As near as you can
Be - lieving all that we could be
And all that we have been
And all that we are
Everyday seems sum - mertime
The river flow with wine
Ooh when you were here with me
I wish we'd stayed that way for - ever
Ooh my hopes are as the leaves upon the water
Just sunk in the night
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughta
Ah, the end of a life
Or maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back
You might re - call
Now did I act carefully, did I do right?
Or were we meant to be, all of our lives
In love and harmony, all of our lives?
So now, take my hand
Come, hold me closely
As near as you can
Be - lieving all that we could be
And all that we have been
And all that we are
Ooh my hopes are as the leaves upon the water
Just sunk in the night
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughta
Ah, the end of a life
Or maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back
You might re - call
Now did I act carefully, did I do right?
Or were we meant to be, all of our lives
In love and harmony, all of our lives?
So now, take my hand
Come, hold me closely
As near as you can
Be - lieving all that we could be
And all that we have been
And all that we are
