listen close, as close as I am to you
|
like the bell of liberty, I'll ring a sound that's true
|
and days go by and seasons too
|
in time our love may digress with the words we can renew
|
|
oh, i'll tell you that I
|
I love you by and by
|
I don't know if I'd survive
|
without a friend like you in my life
|
|
and I know words can be the worst to pervey
|
how it is I feel for you, it's hard for me to say
|
but if we keep it simple, I think it's better that way
|
tangled words tend to lead my messages astray
|
|
oh, i'll tell you that I
|
I love you by and by
|
I don't know if I'd survive
|
without a friend like you in my life
|
|
this web we weave
|
holds us hand in hand
|
and if we loosen our grips
|
we may weaken these strands
|
so lets reinforce our love and let it echo through the land
|
and if we don't we may find ourselves washed up with the sand
|
|
oh, i'll tell you that I
|
I love you by and by
|
I don't know if I'd survive
|
without a friend like you in my life
