“…If you say you will, I’ll leave it all behind”
Lyrics
When did we stop?
Just say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
Has lived inside of me
But there’s gold in the dirt
I never took the time to see
When you walked beside of me
And my hand fit in yours
Like a bird would find the breeze
When did we stop?
Say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
We were the song in the silence
But time catches up
Just say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
You’d be the one to set me free
That day in the park
When the hurt would hide from me
You are the moon and the stars, and all they gaze upon
Time won’t ever move slowly, what you waitin’ on?
Yeah, what you waitin’ on?
When did we stop?
Say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
We were the song in the silence
But time catches up
Just say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
Will you remember those times?
That I have held until tonight
If you say you will, I’ll leave it all behind
Don’t you remember those times?
So when did we stop?
Just say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
We were the song in the silence
But time catches up
Just say the word, and I’ll be yours
You know I never forgot
Giants
Oh, I still love you though
I still love you though
