Sing for Me
Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day we talk to each other
Before leaving with regrets in our souls
Oh my dear friends
This is not the end
Even if the sky is red
Even if the limit seems close

And you cry because you can't
But trust that you will not fall
Yesterday, today and tomorrow
I will sing for you

Come back, don't worry
I believe you
I know you're doing your best
And I'll be there if you need me
Even if I seem far away

And you cry because you can't
But trust that you will not fall




yesterday, today and tomorrow
I will sing for you

They're just glad to be alive and free to enjoy the beat that is already there.
