Lady
Stray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bromham

We've had an everlasting love since we were sixteen
Learning things together 'cos we were so green
So many chances but we threw them away
Too busy thinking about tomorrows, today
And if we got a chance we wondered 'Could we?'
Learning a new dance we wondered 'Should we?'

You are my life, you're my lady
You know it's the truth baby
You are my life, you're my lady

You've got an everlasting light that shines in your eyes
You can see right through me all the truths and the lies
You've power extra sensory, I've learned everyway
Those times when we'd decide to call it a day
I knew that for a time how you would hate me
The time I know I did you wrong so badly

You are my life, you're my lady
You know it's the truth baby
You are my life, you're my lady

Solo

You are my life, you're my lady
You know it's the truth baby
You are my life, you're my lady

The days went on and on and now seem hazy
The nights when we were wild and we went crazy

You are my life, you're my lady
You know it's the truth baby
You are my life, you're my lady
You are my life, you're my lady




You know it's the truth baby
You are my life, you're my lady
