Elexis Marie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its been years Its been so long what can I say now your gone you've slipped away in my life I would have given every breath to you did you care for me did you love me too?
Have mercy on me, Have mercy on me

Time will be the day maybe then my fear of dismay will go away it wont last long, and when I see your face when its my time to go will you wait beside the gate to hold me, and yes I know yes you know It hurts me.
Have mercy on me, Have mercy on me

I'm still waiting for the sun to shine to pull back on me, and too you I will never say goodbye you'll be with me forever by my side.
Have mercy on me, Have mercy on me
