Lyrics
Truth
(Jim Quealy, Middle Room Music)
You’re not my mother, I’m not your dad
I’m not the guy in a dream you had
I can’t be someone, who just can’t be me
I can’t believe in that vision you see
But we’ll go on together on a long and winding flight
And we’re learning, forever is
Night after night after night after night after night
Life has its hardships
Life is a gift
Friends are important
When life needs a lift
Someone to put up
With bad habits and quirks
Someone to hold you when nothing else works
We’ll go on together on a long and winding flight
While we’re learning forever is
Night after night after night after night after night
Time made you older
Wiser sometimes
Take the world off your shoulder
And put your head on mine
Nobody’s perfect but I ain’t so bad
Let’s try to bring back that fever we once had
And we’ll go on together on a long and winding flight
While we’re learning forever is
Night after night after night after night after night
