Ray Dylan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've walked the extra mile for you
My name and heart has been expired
There's nothing more that I can do
My eyes have cried a thousand rivers
No longer can they shine for you
This heart is ready to stop beating
And I'll keep believing
Until my days on earth are through
I'll keep on believing you were the one
'Till God comes and takes me home to you
And when I'm dead and forgotten
And my deeds have all been done
I'll climb the highest mountain to shout to the world
You'll always be the one
No intention of leaving
But if it's time for me to go
If my eyes cross this river
I just want you to know
There will never be another
No other heart can win my soul
Until I finally make my journey
Being with you is my finest goal
And I'll keep believing
Until my days on earth are through
I'll keep on believing you were the one
'Till God comes and takes me home to you
When I'm dead and forgotten
And my deeds have all been done
I'll climb the highest mountain to shout to the world
You'll always be the one
When I'm dead and forgotten
And my deeds have all been done
I'll climb the highest mountain to shout to the world
You'll always be the one
I'll climb the highest mountain to shout to the world
You'll always be the one
