Loyal
Dave Dobbyn Lyrics

I can't remember last time I thanked you,
I unintentionally kept a distance from you and failed to express gratitude for you lately.

Keeping my distance unintentionally.
I unintentionally maintained some distance between us.

Too close for comfort, just ain't close enough.
We are close, but it still doesn't feel close enough.

If I could have more time we would brainstorm.
If we had more time together, there's so much we could come up with.

And I love you tender, but we must walk away,
I have tender feelings toward you, but we need to move on.

Keeping you on my greeting card file.
I will remember you by keeping you on my greeting card list.

And if it were different did you know it ain't?
If things had gone differently, it wouldn't necessarily have been better.

Let's get on with it love
Let's move forward with our lives.

And call me loyal I'll say you're loyal too.
If you consider me loyal, I will consider you loyal as well.

I know you're loyal I feel your loyal truth,
I can sense that you are loyal and truthful.

Call me loyal I'll hold you loyal too,
If you recognize me as loyal, I will reciprocate and regard you as loyal too.

And we are loyal, keep it that way
We are both faithful, and we should maintain that trust.

Out in the battle, flung far and used.
In the midst of conflict, thrown to the winds and exhausted.

Where does allegiance lie?
Where does our loyalty go?

Sometimes when all of your hopes, and all of your dreams,
Occasionally, when all our aspirations and ambitions...

Are too much to value in one moment.
...seem too much to achieve in a single instant.

And all of us anxious, but why hurry love?
We're all nervous, but why rush things, love?

History's here and now.
The past has shaped our present.

Oh and why are you waiting waiting for what?
Why are you still waiting? What are you waiting for?

The history of some love?
Are you waiting for a love that's now in the past?

And we are loyal - haven't you known me long enough girl?
We are both trustworthy- haven't you known me for a significant amount of time?

If I could see your heart right now,
If I could see directly into your heart at this moment,

Maybe there'd be a change or two.
Perhaps some things would be different.

Loyal! I will say you're loyal too!
I will call you loyal if you call me loyal too!

I know you're loyal I will feel your loyal truth,
I'm confident that you're honest in your loyalty.

And we are loyal, keep it that way baby
We are both honest and loyal- let's keep it that way, baby!

Keep it that way baby,
Let's continue to maintain that honesty and loyalty, baby.

Keep it that way now!
Let's keep being loyal and truthful, right now!
