Such a lovely thing
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's an elusive thing
This love of which we sing
What are we doing,
What are we doing?
And I will give you anything,
Just please don't stop singing,
The world would stop spinning…
arooooouunnd
You're such a lovely thing
But there is ice forming
Upon your pretty wings
What are you protecting?
And I will give you everything,
And you can wear this ring,
But you only love me,
you only love me when I'm leaving,
you only love me 'cause I'm leaving,
you only love me when I'm leaving,
you only love me 'cause I'm leaving tonight
you've such a lovely thing,
but there is ice for me,
upon your pretty wings,
why are you lying?
And I will give you everything
Just please don't stop singing,
The world would stop spinning
aroooouuund
It's an elusive thing,
This love of which we sing,
What are we doing?
What are we doing here?
And I will give you anything,
And you can wear my ring,
But you only love me,
You only love me when I'm leaving,
You only love me 'cause I'm leaving,
You only love me 'cause I'm leaving,
You only love me when I'm leaving.
