Always
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, when I'm hurting
Oh maybe you will give a little time to me
And someday when I really need you
You will take me in your arms and you will say

Always, sure as the rising sun
Always, mornings begun
Always, the way that all good things come
Always, always

Can you hear me when I'm way down here
Oh, maybe you will one day walk away from me
Stay close when the wind's howling
And never let me go

Always, sure as the rising sun
Always, mornings begun
Always, the way all good things come
Always, always

Always, sure as the rising sun
Always, mornings begun
Always, all good things come
Always, always

Baby, one day you'll walk away, one day you'll walk away from me
Baby, you'll be there for me, you'll be there for me
You'll be there for me

Always, sure as the rising sun
Always, mornings begun




Always, the way that all good things come
Always, always

Oh, baby, when I'm hurting
Oh, maybe you, will give a little time to me?
And someday - when I really need you.
You will take me in your arms, and you will say..

Always - sure as the rising sun.
Always - oh, mornings begun.
Always - the way that all good things come.
Always, always, always.

Can you hear me?
When I'm way down here?
Oh maybe you, will one day walk away from me?
Or stay close, when the wind is howling?

...And never let me go...

Always - sure as the rising sun.
Always - oh, mornings begun.
Always - the way that all good things come.
Always, always

Always - sure as the rising sun.
Always - ohh, mornings begun.
Always - yeah, all good things come.
Always, always

oh baby, one day you'll walk away, one day you'll walk away from me...
ohh ohh maybe,
You'll be there for me, you'll be there for me?

Always, sure as the rising sun.
Always, ohh, mornings begun.
Always, the way that all good things come.

Always, always......

Beat Lounge When something is driven by passion, and not business, it can last so much time at top levels... A&B are the perfect example
