Time told me you can't know pleasure without pain
Love without heartbreak
Perspective for reflection's sake
When we were young
Forever seemed the longest time
To our naïve tongues and the trust in our hope-filled eyes
For all my days
For all my days
Now that I've got your love I won't let it go to waste
Time once told me we're scared the most
Of those things we can't control or know
Oh or understand
A folly of our own
That we dwell on our mistakes
The chances we're too afraid to take
They take their toll, but indolence won't save your soul
And indifference your choice, you know
So marry me
In your mother's maiden white
And your father's eyes so blue as the southern skies
And when I die (when I die)
When I'm dead and gone (life goes on)
Return to the dust and dirt where I belong
I pray my love will linger on
I pray my love will linger on
For all my days
For all my days
Now that I've got your love I won't let it go to waste
For all of my days
For all of my days
I pray my love won't go to waste
Come time I meet my resting place
Hearts like these
Love like this
The stars aligned in the sky insist
Love of mine
Stay the night
As long as the loving is left in your eyes
As for the love in your heart
Let it out, let it out
As for the love in your heart
Let me in
