| I wrote a letter on a nothing day
|
| I asked somebody 'Could you send my letter away'?
|
| 'You are too young to put all of your hopes in just one envelope'
|
| I said goodbye to someone that I love
|
| It’s not just me, I tell you it’s the both of us
|
| And it was hard
|
| Like coming off the pills that you take to stay happy
|
| Someone above has seen me do alright
|
| Someone above is looking with a tender eye
|
| Upon your face, you may think you’re alone but you may think again
|
| If I could do just one near perfect thing I’d be happy
|
| They’d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
|
| On second thoughts I’d rather hang about and be there with my best friend
|
| If she wants me
|
| And far away somebody read the letter
|
| He condescends to read the words I wrote about him
|
| And if he smiles, it’s no more than a genius deserves
|
| For all your curious nerve and your passion
|
| I’m going deaf, you’re growing melancholy
|
| Things fall apart, I don’t know why we bother at all
|
| But life is good and 'It's always worth living at least for a while'
|
| If I could do just one near perfect thing I’d be happy
|
| They’d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
|
| On second thoughts I’d rather hang around and be there with my best friend
|
| If she wants me
|
| If you think to yourself 'What should I do now'?
|
| Then take the baton, girl, you better run with it
|
| 'Cause there is no point in standing in the past cause it’s over and done
|
| I took a book and went into the forest
|
| I climbed the hill, I wanted to look down on you
|
| But all I saw was twenty miles of wilderness so I went home
|
| If I could do just one near perfect thing I’d be happy
|
| They’d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
|
| On second thoughts I’d rather hang around and be there with my best friend
|
| If she wants me
|
| If I could do just one near perfect thing I’d be happy
|
| They’d write it on my grave, or when they scattered my ashes
|
| On second thoughts I’d rather hang around and be there with my best friend
|
| If she wants me
|
| If she wants me, yeah
|
| If she wants me, yeah
|
| If she wants me, yeah |
