A Song For While Im Away lyrics by Thin Lizzy
These words I wrote, play and sing to you
Do not convey the love I brought and bring to you
For this is a song for while Im away
To say all the things Id love to say
You are my life, my everything, youre all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
Youre all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say
Now Im headed for the border
You see this song it ends right at the start
I swore when I was younger
No one would win my heart
And far away hills look greener still
But soon theyll all slip away
Its then Ill be returning
And Ill be coming home to stay
You are my life, my everything, youre all I have
You are my hopes, my dreams, my world come true
Youre all I have
Please heed me now these words I have to say
