forever (AS I LAY DYING)
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
But in that one moment
I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away
In that moment
I gave my heart away
In that moment
I gave my heart away
What perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
And all I knew was what had overtaken me
With no explanation
I am comforted by inability to understand
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
But in that one moment
I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away
In that moment
I gave my heart away
In that moment
I gave my heart away
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
When I wake from this dream
Will your smile still open my heart and leave me transparent
When I wake from this dream
Will your smile still open my heart
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
But in that one moment
I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away
In that moment
I gave my heart away
In that moment
I gave my heart away
What perfect breath where my mind lay beside me
And all I knew was what had overtaken me
With no explanation
I am comforted by inability to understand
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
I saw your heart as it overtook me
We tried so hard to understand and reason
But in that one moment
I gave my heart away
I gave my heart away
In that moment
I gave my heart away
In that moment
I gave my heart away
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
Forever your eyes will hold the memory
When I wake from this dream
Will your smile still open my heart and leave me transparent
When I wake from this dream
Will your smile still open my heart
