The Head And Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We don't know how we feel
We're just prayin' that we're doin' this right
Though that's not the way it seems
Summer gone, now winter's on its way
I will miss the days we had
The days we had
The days we had
Oh, I'll miss the days we had
Loving, leaving, it's too late for this now
Such esteem for each has gone
Has time driven our season away?
'Cause that's the way it seems
In the world of the speech that is new
I'll be back again to stay
Again to stay
I'll be back again to stay
Again to stay
I'll be back again to stay
