For A While
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 feel it leading me
Away to I don't know where.
I might be back someday,
But the people and things will change
And no one will remember me then.
Don't need no sympathy,
For soon I'll forget everything.
I feel it fading now,
And I see in the eyes of my love
Tears for how it might have been.
It sure felt good for a while.
Yes it was good for a while.
I found somebody to take my hand
To the promised land of the loved.
Now as the night draws in,
A dark with no promise of dawn,
I feel my eyes grow dim,
As I see in the eyes of my love
Tears for how it might have been.
It sure felt good for a while.
Yes it was good for a while.
I found somebody to take my hand
To the promised land of the loved
