Give Me a Future
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.
Oh-oh-oh-oh, say you’ll be mine
Give me future
All I have is the past that a-didn’t last
That a-ruins my chances with you
The years ahead hold nothing but the thought
That maybe I won’t have you
Nothin’ can compare to the loneliness
That forces me to plead with you
Oh-oh-oh-oh, say you’ll be mine
Give me a future
Your arms to hold me tight
That’s what I need
You lips, to kiss goodnight
And try to please
Your eyes, to see the love
For which I reach
Please say the words that make you mine
For all I have is the past that a-didn’t last
That a-ruins my chances with you
The years ahead hold nothing but the thought
That maybe I won’t have you
Nothin’ can compare to the loneliness
That forces me to plead with you
Oh-oh-oh-oh, say you’ll be mine
Give me a future
