I give you everything
'Til songs of freedom come and take me for a little ride
Walkin' by in my lonely dreams

You say you feel forgotten well I'm sorry I haven't waken

And in these times I write about forgiveness in the sand
And I hope and pray that it's here to stay...

And there's a song I wrote for those who would like to sing
But I still play alone on these old heartstrings
'Cause how we tried and tried to make that perfect harmony
Wasn't it a shame, we never heard the same?

That's why in these times I write about forgiveness in the sand
And I hope and pray that it's here to stay...

So when those birds fly south in the winter I have to go
Baby please don't cry it's the end of our Long Goodbye
('Cause all I have left are these precious wings
And if I stay behind, true love I may never find)

And in these times I write about forgiveness in the sand
And I hope and pray that it's here to stay
It's alright, it's OK, it's here to stay...

It's here to stay

I gave you everything
