| What if life wasn’t long*
|
| And everybody got just a single moment?
|
| If you wasted the moment alone
|
| Spent your while time thinking: «Why should I need love?»
|
| Then look above to the sky and beyond
|
| Cos you don’t know what you’ve got 'til it’s gone, believe me
|
| Everybody needs a lover sometimes
|
| And you were mine
|
| My god by another name
|
| Everybody needs a lover sometimes
|
| And you were mine
|
| My shelter from the rain outside
|
| What if life was a car
|
| And you didn’t really know how to start it
|
| Would you sit in your car like a clown
|
| Or get out and walk to the nearest crowded bar?
|
| And kiss a mouth, make it smile and be proud
|
| That at least you had a good time for a while?
|
| Believe me
|
| Everybody needs a lover sometimes
|
| And you were mine
|
| My God by another name
|
| Everybody needs a lover sometimes
|
| And you were mine
|
| My shelter from the rain outside
|
| And if you hold on to me now
|
| And never let go
|
| Then I guess at least we’ll know
|
| The sense that it all made, oh
|
| Cos everybody needs a lover sometimes
|
| And you were mine
|
| My god by another name
|
| Everybody needs a lover sometimes
|
| And you were mine
|
| My shelter from the rain outside
|
| But you stayed |
