|
It's all over now, no more summers in heaven |
|
After World War Two wed and a life of ups and downs |
|
I see it now, precious even on paper |
|
A young man and his bride and someone to make time stand still |
|
But now I know and I don't want to believe it |
|
Where does it leave you now |
|
That the precious years are gone |
|
All things remain to ignore and outlive you |
|
From the man in the moon to the green hills outside your door |
|
Alone you came so alone you must go now |
|
There's no mountain on earth can ever outlive your soul |
|
But now I know and I don't want to believe it |
|
Where does it leave you now |
|
That the precious years are gone |
|
But now I know and I don't want to believe it |
|
Where does it leave you now |
|
That the precious years are gone |
|
I know you well, you'll be nothing but grateful |
|
Never let it be said they were spent in thoughtless ways |
|
Warm winds blow 'cross the ties that bind forever |
|
For a place in the sun and for the hearts of love a home |
|
But now I know and I don't want to believe it |
|
Where does it leave you now |
|
That the precious years are gone |
|
But now I know and I don't want to believe it |
|
Where does it leave you now |
|
That the precious years are gone |
