Someday when my life has passed me by I'll lay around and wonder why you were always there for me One way, in the eyes of a passer by I'll look around for another try and fade away Just close your eyes and I'll take you there This place is warm and without a care We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea I go to leave and you reach for me Some say better things will come our way No matter what they try to say you were always there for me Some way, when the sun begins to shine I hear a song from another time and fade away And fade away Just close your eyes and I'll take you there This place is warm and without a care We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea I go to leave and you reach for me Oh, come on Someone said you tried to long (you will pass me by) Someone said we got it all wrong (all wrong) Someone said we tried to long (you will pass me by) Every thinks were right belong So far so long so far away So far so wrong so far away away away Someday when my life has passed me by I'll lay around and wonder why you were always there for me One way, in the eyes of a passer by I'll look around for another try and fade away And fade away And fade away And fade away And fade away And fade away And fade away And fade away And fade away And fade away
