Are Everything

Heaven 17


I was thirty-seven 
You were seventeen 
You were half my age 
The youth I'd never seen 
Unlikely people meeting in a dream 
Heaven only knows the way it should have been 
Here today my tomorrow 
Where you lead I will follow 
All that kissing 
No passion missing 
Come live with me 
Kiss the boys goodbye 
Dinner parties followed 
And all my age implies 
My friends began to talk 
I began to realise 
If half the things they say 
Are quarter true of me 
Then how can I eclipse the youth 
You gave to set me free 
There was something in your smile 
That was hard to reconcile 
The time had come to testify to reason 
Though years will not erase 
Remembrance of those days 
At least there's no submission to hearts treason 
Here today my tomorrow 
No more shame only sorrow 
All that kissing 
There's something missing 
Come live with me 
Kiss the boys goodbye 
Now there's nothing left to cry for 
And there's nowhere left to go 
Just another hopeless fight 
But how were we to know 
The strong are sometimes wrong 
But the weak are never free 
The choice we made we can't evade 
Don't try to follow me 
Here today my tomorrow 
No more pain only sorrow 
All that kissing 
There's something missing 
Come live with me 
Kiss the boys goodbye 
Come live with me 
Kiss the boys goodbye
