A Song For While I'm Away

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 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 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 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 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
