1, 2, 3 ♪ A young tree is growing Through boards on the floor Ain't nothing much left of the roof The old chimney stands Over looking the past And the garden's a tangle of roots Every spring even now In this dried up Texas town There's a beautiful lilac in bloom Where lifetimes ago The seeds she sowed Came up in her favourite blue I can't make out the words Or the name on the box Painted letters gave up to the rain It was nothing but time That washed them away Yet they flow through the blood in my veins There were debts barely paid And beds daily made Broken china and chairs left behind But I swear I can hear The laughter here Inside of me and before my time ♪ I wanted you to see This broken down old place Before it turns to dust and sweet dreams They would have loved you I know Would have set you a place You'd have made them so happy for me We are not meant to last Just to love what we have And I promise I'll do the best I can Someday all the stars will die But they're ours tonight And tomorrow's forever again We are not meant to last Just to love what we have And I promise I'll love best I can Someday all the stars will die But they're ours tonight And tomorrow's forever again ♪ Forever again ♪ Forever again
