Silver String
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 need you dear, you lay sleeping by my side
And I worry dear but things you say are bright and gay
And I warm to your words of encouragement
And not a soul knows what I will know
We're lovers and we're honestly
Together somehow and tied with silver string
We'll live forever and ever
And if you decide
And downhearted, and down cause we live apart
No I can't fake it not for one more day
If there's someplace we can go
If we can make a home
It's up to us to cope
In you I trust in all things there's a must
And I will live again
And if you decide
And if you decide
Oooh
Oooh
Oooh
And I need you tonight
You lay sleeping by my side
And I worry, dear
When things you say are bright and gay
And I want to hear your words
Of encouragement
And not a soul
Just I will know
We're lovers dear
And we're honestly
Together somehow
And tied with silver string
We'll live for ever and ever
Until you decide
And downhearted
And down 'cause we live apart
No, I can't fake it
Not for one more day
Is there someplace we can go
Where we can make a go
It's up to us to care
In you I trust
In all things there's a must
And never leave again
We're lovers dear
And we're honestly
Together somehow
And tied with silver string
We'll live for ever and ever
And if you decide
And don't lie
You know there'll still come a time
We're lovers dear
And we're honestly
Together somehow
And tied with silver string
We'll live for ever and ever
And if you decide
Oooh
