Say, I may be gone today I may be going tomorrow But do not fear My darling, now I'm here what are you saying,pray? What are you trying to tell me You will stay here Forever and a year Say,can you see them there? Those darkened clouds in the distance So close to you We are to go, my dear What are you saying, pray? There's only bright skies above us Just look away Just turn the other way A drop or rain, I swear I felt upon my forehead Why is it now I cannot wipe my brow? It was not a drop of rain And now your hands I am holding It was a tear Forever and a year Forever and a year Forever and a year
