ORIGINAL VERSION:
VERSE 1
The first time that I heard you sing, we are alone
I was laying on the bed and you were on the headphones
With songs of lovers who had taken you home
For you'd grown tired of waking Sunday's morning's alone
LIFT
The lovers filled the pages
They describe all the stages you've seen
The followers dream and they lift their lift their eyes
Wishing they could cause the tears
Singing....
CHORUS
It's time for leaving
I hate to say goodbye
But I gave it my best try
It's time for leaving
I hate to see you go
But there are things we must know for ourselves
VERSE 2
Now, I've heard that you're more beautiful
Than any of your photographs
For the pictures do not capture you
Your loving or your raps
LIFT
The lovers filled the pages
They describe all the stages you've seen
The followers dream and they lift their lift their eyes
Wishing they could cause the tears
Singing....
CHORUS
Singing, it's time for leaving
I hate to say goodbye
But I gave it my best try
It's time for leaving
I hate to see you go
But there are things we must know for ourselves
