I will be your lullaby if your my wandering son
And I will sing you to sleep at night if you will keep me warm.
And I will read you stories from the pages of old books
And I will watch the sun with you set over the bright red roofs.
Oh, a body gets cold, oh, a body gets cold.
I don't know the future, oh Lord, though I do try.
Only waited for the ending as the years keep passing by.
If my life was written in the pages of a book,
You wouldn't give it even a second look.
Oh, life seems long, but oh, it's soon over and gone.
(Instrumental)
Built myself a temple with nothing else inside.
A face that always smiles but a heart that always cries.
And sometimes I think I love you and sometimes I think I don't.
Sometimes I only want you so that I am not alone.
Oh, life seems long, oh, it's soon over and gone.
Oh, life seems long, oh, it's soon over and gone.
Oh, life seems long, oh, it's soon over and gone.
