Fate
The Grapes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How can I review to you
No other words just stamped in through
A thousand miles but not too far to see
The day will come for all so pleasantly
A better way
A better way
Half the things have not been said
When the days go by in times ahead
A thousand miles but not too far to see
The day will come for all so pleasantly
A better way
A better way
And all the time
Enriched in style
Shines on me
Like a billion smiles
Billion smiles
And all the time
Enriched in style
Shines on me
Like a billion smiles
Billion smiles
Everyway you book's a mess
Seems like fate won't work for us
A thousand miles but not too far to see
The day will come for all so pleasantly
A better way
A better way
And all the time
Enriched in style
Shines on me
Like a billion smiles
Billion smiles
And all the time
Enriched in style
Shines on me
Like a billion smiles
Billion smiles




Billion smiles
Billion smiles
