Eternity
Guy Chambers/Robbie Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They don't need to see you cry
I can't promise I will heal you
But if you want to, I will try
I'll sing this somber serenade
The past is done
We've been betrayed
Someone said the truth will out
I believe without a doubt, in you
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
Yesterday when you were walking
We talked about your mom and dad
What they did that made you happy
What they did that made you sad
We sat and watched the sun go down
Picked a star before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come and gone too soon
You were there for summer dreaming
And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity
For eternity
For eternity
I'll sing this somber serenade
The past is done
We've been betrayed
It's true
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come and gone too soon
You were there for summer dreaming
And you are a friend indeed
And I hope you'll find your freedom
For eternity
You were there for summer dreaming
And you are a friend indeed
And I know you'll find your freedom
Eventually
For eternity
For eternity

Close your eyes so your don't fear them
Shut your eyes to avoid any frightening thoughts
They don't need to see you cry
Others don't have to witness your tears
I can't promise I will heal you
I can't fully guarantee I'll make you feel better
But if you want to, I will try
I'll make an effort if you'd like me to
I'll sing this somber serenade
I'll perform this mournful song
The past is done
What's happened before is over
We've been betrayed
We've had our trust broken

That statement is factual
Someone said the truth will out
A person once claimed the truth will eventually be revealed
I believe without a doubt, in you
I have complete faith in you
You were there for summer dreaming
You joined me in imagining during summertime
And you gave me what I need
You provided what I required
And I hope you find your freedom
I desire for you to discover your liberation
For eternity
For all time
Yesterday when you were walking
On the previous day while you were strolling
We talked about your mom and dad
We conversed about your mother and father
What they did that made you happy
Their actions that brought you joy
What they did that made you sad
Their actions that caused you sorrow
We sat and watched the sun go down
We rested and observed the sunset
Picked a star before we lost the moon
Selected a celestial body prior to the moon's disappearance
Youth is wasted on the young
The young do not fully appreciate their youth
Before you know it's come and gone too soon
Youth passes by quickly and before you know it, it's over
And you are a friend indeed
You genuinely are a dependable companion
And I know you'll find your freedom
I'm certain that you'll attain liberation
Eventually
At some point in time
For eternity
Always and forever
