Lyrics
August In Bethany
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.
With the sounds of the ocean crashing
7:30 friday evening
Everything comes tumbling down
I choke back each tear that bleeds
I'd rather rest forever in your arms
I'd rather stay here than go
But i know that i should leave
As i sit here helpless
Don't go
(you said you wouldn't you said you wouldn't)
Don't go
(you said you wouldn't you said you couldn't)
I think of our time together
Is it fading am i dreaming
Everything you said lives on
I cherish our memories
I want to kiss your tears away tonight
It's hard to give up the one
You never thought you'd leave
Don't go
Your eyes see through my soul
Don't go
You say as i walk out the door.
