I've been told that all I need
Is to share my love
But I'm running out of time
So I close my eyes and let time pass me by
Will I give enough before I'm gone? Before I'm gone?
♪
I've built a house and burned it to the ground
I have a secret that no one knows about
I've been in trouble more than once or twice
I've seen the darkest paradise
I've been in danger and I've been safe
Seen an angel and the devil beside my bed
I've stayed awake till you were asleep
And I made promises I couldn't keep
Will they remember the stories I told?
Will they remember - when they grow old?
Will they remember the things that I've done?
Will they remember - when I am gone?
♪
I've been as far as from the east to the west
And I've seen things that ripped my heart from my chest
I've sung with people in words I didn't know
And I've got to see where their river goes
And I spent money that I did not have
And I've got lost with an empty backpack
I've got my diamonds safe at home
May they shine bright when they're on their own
And I've heard stories I couldn't believe
And I've felt miracles that made me truly see
I've had so much within my reach
And in the end it was always up to me
Will they remember the stories I told?
Will they remember - when they grow old?
Will they remember the things that I've done?
Will they remember - when I am gone?
Will they remember the stories I told?
Will they remember - when they grow old?
Will they remember the things that I've done?
Will they remember - when I am gone?
Will they remember?
Will they remember?
Will they remember?
Will they remember - when I am gone?
