Lyrics
Before You Leave
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.
Every drop of rain is a looking glass
That's fallin' too fast to see
I want to do something
To catch you before you leave
I know life is uncertain
Things don't turn out like we plan
And I want to do something
I'm not sure if I can
Every piece of sky is a memory
Hanging there over each day
No matter how hard I try
I can't find the words
I know life is uncertain
Things don't turn out like we plan
And I wish I could do something
To ease the pain that you're in
Every star at night is a beating heart
That someday will fall
Young and old, they are bright
And make a grand exit
And I know life is uncertain
Nothing's turned out like we planned
And I want to do something...
I want to do something...
Maybe just hold your hand.
