Son of a preacher man
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.
I reserve the right for once in my life
To lay down in a field of grass
I'll be still and quiet
Just count the stars
From here to Mars
I will hold my breath
Until I don't care
Until I am sure
Until I am strong just like before
I will lie beneath the sky
Til I don't love you anymore
Until the stars refuse to shine
And the moon won't come at night
I won't cry, just close my eyes
Til I don't love you anymore
I'd walk through the fire for one last time
Just to stand beside your flame
But what good would that do if I can't have you?
How much longer must I wait?
Until I don't care
Until I am sure
Until I am strong just like before
I will lie beneath the sky
Til I don't love you anymore
Until the stars refuse to shine
And the moon won't come at night
I won't cry, just close my eyes
Til I don't love you anymore
Does anybody really know
Why somebody loves someone?
The way that I belonged to only you
If anyone could tell me how
How to go on from now?
I would simply do without you
I'd just count the hours
Until I don't care
Until I am sure
Until I am strong just like before
I will lie beneath the sky
Til I don't love you anymore
Until the stars refuse to shine
And the moon won't come at night
I won't cry, just close my eyes
Til I don't love you anymore
Until I don't care
Until I am sure
Until I am strong just like before
I will lie beneath the sky
Til I don't love you anymore
Until the stars refuse to shine
And the moon won't come at night
I won't cry, just close my eyes
Til
