I wrote a letter on a nothing day
|
I asked somebody ¡°Could you send my letter away?¡±
|
¡°You are too young to put all of your hopes in just one envelope¡±
|
I said goodbye to someone that I love
|
It¡¯s not just me, I tell you it¡¯s the both of us
|
And it was hard
|
Like coming off the pills that you take to stay happy
|
Someone above has seen me do alright
|
Someone above is looking with a tender eye
|
Upon her face, you may think you¡¯re alone but you may think again
|
If I could do just one near perfect thing I¡¯d be happy
|
They¡¯d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
|
On second thoughts I¡¯d rather hang around and be there with my best friend
|
If she wants me
|
And far away somebody read the letter
|
He condescends to read the words I wrote about him
|
And if he smiles, it¡¯s no more than a genius deserves
|
For all his curious nerve and his passion
|
I¡¯m going deaf, you¡¯re growing melancholy
|
Things fall apart, I don¡¯t know why we bother at all
|
But life is good and ¡°It¡¯s always worth living at least for a while¡±
|
If I could do just one near perfect thing I¡¯d be happy
|
They¡¯d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
|
On second thoughts I¡¯d rather hang around and be there with my best friend
|
If she wants me
|
If you think to yourself ¡°What should I do now?¡±
|
Then take the baton, girl, you better run with it
|
Cause there is no point in standing in the past cause it¡¯s over and done with
|
I took a book and went into the forest
|
I climbed the hill, I wanted to look down on you
|
But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness so I went home
|
If I could do just one near perfect thing I¡¯d be happy
|
They¡¯d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
|
On second thoughts I¡¯d rather hang around and be there with my best friend
|
If she wants me
|
If I could do just one near perfect thing I¡¯d be happy
|
They¡¯d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
|
On second thoughts I¡¯d rather hang around and be there with my best friend
|
If she wants me
|
If she wants me
|
If she wants me
|
If she wants me
|
