If you'd only seen the things I'd seen And walked the roads I'd walked alone Then maybe you would know why I sing And why I love this sad old song Cause long ago and far away There lived a girl who knew no fame All those years gone by and here I am I sing her song and wear her name Dear, please remember I will always be here for you Through all the dark and lonely days to come When you grow weary I will sing a song of mercy Like this sweet lullaby to carry you home To carry you home To carry you Instrumental And if you think that you can choose The way this life lays out your cards Think of all those years gone by and still We sing our songs of broken hearts Dear, please remember I will always be here for you All through the dark and lonely days to come When you grow weary I will sing a song of mercy Like this sweet lullaby to carry you home To carry you home To carry you home To carry you home Instrumental And kingdoms rise and then they fall And cities die, still we all But there will always be There will always be This sad old song To touch your heart And warm your soul Instrumental
