|
Take it for granted |
|
You're making a mistake |
|
Take it for what it is |
|
But take it for Gods sake |
|
Take it from me |
|
Lonely as can be |
|
I'd love to |
|
But I never dared to |
|
If only I could make you see |
|
Once a man stood by a wall |
|
And watched his love across the beach |
|
And though her loveliness could warm his heart |
|
Her lips he could not reach |
|
And nothing would he do |
|
Nothing would he say |
|
He just keeps it all inside himself |
|
And saves it for another day |
|
Then he heard a song |
|
Sweetly over the wall |
|
Singing its better to have loved and lost |
|
Than never to have loved at all |
|
Take it for granted |
|
Oh don't make that mistake |
|
Take it for what it is |
|
But take it for Gods sake mmm |
|
Take it from me |
|
Lonely as can be |
|
I'd love to but I never dared to |
|
But if only I.. I could make you see |
|
Once a girl gazed out her window |
|
At the moon above the sea |
|
And as the breeze touched her face |
|
The thought of him wouldn't let her be |
|
Will he pass by |
|
Or will this feeling just pass away |
|
How am I to try and understand |
|
What is this price I have to pay |
|
Shall I turn my back to my pillow |
|
Let the moon fall to the sea |
|
And keep it all and not sleep at all |
|
Or maybe I'll just dream |
|
Take it for granted |
|
You're making a mistake |
|
Take it for what it is |
|
But take it for Gods sake oh |
|
Take it from me |
|
Lonely as can be |
|
I'd love to but I never dared to |
|
But if only I could make you see |
