Lyrics
Hallelujah
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.
Pretty pictures are hanging on the walls
Of a crumbling house that´s just about to fall
You wouldn´t know it from the look outside
But some things are easy to hide
Oh, now they´re kissing that house goodbye
Ohooh, ooh, yeah!
Kissing that house goodbye
Oooooo
Inside a man he had the touch of gold
He made so much money
Found wanting only the soul he sold
Kicked the bucket on a silver throne
So rich and all alone
And he never saw it coming
And when the sun comes out
Hallelujah´s, coming out my mouth
Oooo
My life is now
Not gonna waste it on the piling up the treasures in the sun
Cause maybe tomorrow never comes
Oh, ooh, ooh, yeah!
Maybe tomorrow never comes
Every moment on this spinning earth has a number on the top
It making sure of its weight & worth
I´ve been a foo and I´ve burned a few
But I´ll spend all the rest with you
Cause there´s nothing else I´d wanna do
When the sun comes out
Hallelujah´s, coming out my mouth
Oooo
My life is now
Not gonna waste it on the piling up the treasures in the sun, yeah
Waste it on the piling up the treasures in the sun
Cause maybe tomorrow never comes
I will be there for you
Wherever you walk
Wherever you stand
I will be there for you
Whenever you want
Whenever I can
When the sun comes out
Hallelujah´s, coming out my mouth
Oooo
My life is now
I´m not going to
To waste it when the sun comes out
Hallelujah´s, coming out my mouth
Oooo
My life is now
Not gonna waste it on the piling up the treasures in the sun
Waste it on the piling up the treasures in the sun
Cause maybe tomorrow never comes
Oh, ooh ooh
Maybe tomorrow never comes
Never comes
Never comes
Maybe never tomorrow never comes
Oooh, ooh
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe tomorrow never
