A Song for While I’m Away Lyrics
[Verse 1]
These words I wrote, play and sing to you
Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you
For this is a song for while I'm away
To say all the things I'd love to say
[Chorus]
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
You're all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say
[Verse 2]
Now I'm headed for the border
You see this song it ends right at the start
I swore when I was younger
No one would win my heart
[Verse 3]
And far away hills look greener still
But soon they'll all slip away
It's then I'll be returning
And I'll be coming home to stay
[Chorus]
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
You're all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say
These words I wrote, play and sing to you
Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you
For this is a song for while I'm away
To say all the things I'd love to say
[Chorus]
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
You're all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say
[Verse 2]
Now I'm headed for the border
You see this song it ends right at the start
I swore when I was younger
No one would win my heart
[Verse 3]
And far away hills look greener still
But soon they'll all slip away
It's then I'll be returning
And I'll be coming home to stay
[Chorus]
You are my life, my everything, you're all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
You're all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say
