| By this time, you’ll be sitting on top of the world
|
| In your overcoat, all studded with pearls
|
| You might be drinking good wine
|
| Some real good wine out of crystal cups
|
| You know I’m still here in the shadows
|
| Tearing my heart out over love
|
| I ain’t unhappy
|
| I’m the same just a little more soft
|
| You know I’d ask you for a piece of your time
|
| But I wouldn’t know how much it’d cost
|
| It’s the last time you’ll ever see my face again as long as you breathe
|
| So going out add another voice to life’s great song
|
| We all knew you had it in you all along
|
| But I’d climb the tallest mountain for you
|
| So while you’re leaving, you take what’s yours and I’ll take what’s mine
|
| And we’ll both call it even
|
| But boy, don’t let those gravediggers in sight
|
| And don’t ever pour too much of your heart out
|
| If you ain’t got no place to hide
|
| It’s the last time you’ll ever see my face again as long as you breathe
|
| You destroy my mind
|
| I think about it all the time
|
| You’ve given me a piece of your soul
|
| Just like I’ve given I piece of mine
|
| But boy, get your wagon to a star
|
| Cause there’s a thousand people who would kill to be right where you are
|
| These nights I just stay up and watch the stars climb the hills
|
| And know I wish that I could say I could be as bright as them
|
| But I know that we never will
|
| It’s the last time you’ll ever see my face again as long as you breathe
|
| You destroy my mind |
