Lyrics:
If you were writing a song about the lives that we live how would you start it? Where would you begin?
It would help to be clever. Make all details fit. Like the night that I met you, And when we first kissed.
Oh how I'd give the best of me. Oh how I'd give up the rest of me, for one life-long dance.
We'd have to rewrite it every time something new came along that's worth singing. That's each moment with you. I'm sure there was something before you came along. We should thank them for helping, to push us along.
I cried when I wrote this. There were tears in my eyes. While you lay there sleeping. I hope it's still a surprise. It'd could be our own anthem. A waltz might be nice so we could still dance it all of our lives.
Oh now I'd give the best of me. Oh how, I'd give the rest of me for one life-long dance.
For better or worse. Well you know that it's true. I'd take worse over anyone. Anything from you. In the presence of no one Or in front of them all. I'd give you forever. Forever won't fit in a song
If this song came before us we would have to assume someone had written it for us about me and you. Or we were somehow inspired by prophetic hands to write our own love song as if on command.
Well, A bridge might be nice here. But I think instead We'll let the music die down so the thoughts in my head can pour out onto paper between the ground and a dream. We'll leave room at the ending for what we've not seen.
Oh now I'd give the best of me. Oh how, I'd give the rest of me for one life-long dance.
For better or worse. Well you know that it's true. I'd take worse over anyone. Anything from you. In the presence of no one Or in front of them all. I'd give you forever. Forever won't fit in this song
Save room for the coda We'll hum it over and over Forever won't fit in this song
