Phillip LaRue - Black And Blue | |
Well the sky is bruised black and blue | |
Because I beat the stars for you | |
You said they shined to bright | |
Made it hard for you to sleep and night | |
Well you missed the sound of the ocean love | |
So I caught it in a cage like dove | |
Brought it to your window to calm you down | |
Brought it to your window to calm you now | |
And it's time to forget | |
This world that you live in | |
It’s time to let go | |
Of this life that you hold | |
Don’t keep your eyes open for me | |
You fought a good fight | |
Now why don’t you sleep | |
Well I’ll love you forever | |
Till heaven kisses earth | |
But I can’t keep you hear | |
It’s not what you deserve | |
You deserve to walk to run to fly | |
All the things I wanted for you in this life | |
What I would do for you | |
To take the pain away | |
Oh sister oh my God | |
What is there left to say? | |
I’d run a thousand miles | |
Over sea and land | |
To find a cure for you | |
I don’t understand | |
Will you hold my hand? | |
Help me understand | |
And its time to forget | |
This world that you live in | |
It’s time to let go | |
Of this life that you hold | |
Don’t keep your eyes open for me | |
You fought a good fight | |
So why don’t you dream | |
Please dream |
