Laswell Greg Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love I cannot stay
My love I am running late
My love all has not been a waste
In a life that you have brought upon me

So farewell love, this is goodbye, let's not take our time
Farewell love, this isn't getting any easier
And you let go to what the end will show

Ba, ba, da, ba, da, da, da

My love I cannot stay
My love all has not been a waste
My love I am running late
From the life that you have brought upon me

So farewell love, this is goodbye, let's not take our time
Farewell love, this isn't getting any easier
And you let go to what the end will show
Ba, ba, da, ba, da, da, da

So farewell love, this is goodbye, let's not take our time
Farewell love, this isn't getting any easier
And you let go to what the end will show
Ba, ba, da, ba, da, da, da

I'm gonna save this for you
I'm gonna save this for you
I'm gonna save this for you
I'm gonna save this for you

So farewell love, this is goodbye, let's not take our time
Farewell love, this isn't getting any easier

And you let go to what the end will show
Ba, ba, da, ba, da, da, da

Um dia, anos atras eu descobri essa canção aleatoriamente. Eu estava cansado em um ponto de ônibus esperando para ir para casa depois de um dia de trabalho. Essa música me vestiu naquele momento como uma roupa sob medida. Aqueceu meu coração e eu nunca mais a esqueci.

This song is just as amazing, if not more so, live. Greg is an incredibly underrated artist and I see him every chance I have when he's close enough to me.

Amazing song!! Great to use in any war movie where the guy has to leave to fight a war, but will eventually return home. Not sad, but so upbeat but yet heartfelt. Wonderful!
