For The Meantime
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.
But every day that I don't see your face, it's a tragedy
And time away could be time staring into your eyes
But every day that I don't see your face feels forever to me
All the while I'm away you'll be there on my mind
But we might find, in our lifetime
When the lights go out, and the tears fill up in our eyes
But it's only for the meantime
And before too long I will be right there at your side
'Cos every day that I don't see your smile, it's a tragedy
I'm afraid that we might lose the feeling inside
Because there's no other sound that could make me go weak at the knees
Like the sound of your voice on the end of the line
But we might find, in our lifetime
When the lights go out, and the tears fill up in our eyes
But it's only for the meantime
And before too long I will be right there at your side
For a while...
