ALWAYS

ALWAYS

The moon from up above has always lit up the night.

The birds in the sky have always ruled in flight.

The early morning has always had its dew.

And like an old hound dog, I will always be there for you.

The stars have always been in the heavens.

Gamblers have always yelled seven come eleven.

The sun every night always says adieu and every morning is back anew.

And whenever I have to leave, I will always be back for you.

The mountains have always mingled in the clouds.

Rock and roll has always been loud.

Sailors have always sailed their ships.

And like the sun and moon have their eclipse, I will always kiss your lips.

There has always been wind to blow through the trees.

Throughout time there have always been the birds and the bees.

The farmers have always planted their seed.

And you will always be the one that I need.

Prisons have always had their walls.

Little girls have always played with baby dolls.

Little boys in the wind have always flown their kites.

And I will always put my arms around you and hug you tight.

Lovers have always looked into each other’s eyes and smiled.

Lovers have always run through fields of flowers that have grown wild.

Young lovers have always played in the rain.

And I will always be there to rub away your pain.

The spinning earth has always had its seasons.

Everything that man has ever done, he's always had his reasons.

Since the beginning of man, there have been stories to be told.

And I will always keep you warm when you are cold.

The ocean has always had its tide.

Cowboys have always had their horses to ride.

Everyone has always had their fifteen minutes of fame.

And I will always come to you when you call my name.
