They can tear down the monuments Of the sentiments of our past We can forget our childhoods And k** all our moments But before you die I'll play you the song I sang through your open window That one summer along with the breeze so warm We can spend all our money We can spend our whole life Living royal and wealthy Just by being satisfied And before you die I'll serenade the same song I courted you with When we were young They can tear the roof off your house And your home's still the sky You'll lay down in the gutter While the water rolls by Overwrought with a fever Hot flashes and chills Can make you jerk and stutter And pull at your will Until after a while Of daydreaming like a child The glaze on your eyes Shines all through And then before you die I'll play you the song I wrote for our love One more time
