I Have Always Loved You
[Verse 1]
I have a clock on my wall
I have to laugh right out loud
Minutes and hours go by
And they mean nothing at all
I have the best of both worlds
'Cause I've got the world in your eyes
But my rusted out memory
Is slow to recall
What went before you
Bless my amnesia
[Chorus]
'Cause I've always loved you
I have always loved you
I have always loved you
And I always will
[Verse 2]
I have this place for my heart
Whenever it's broken in two
I used to frequent that spot
Now it goes unused
I don't recall the way there
That's just as well after all
Some things are better
Abandoned, forgotten
To make way for dreams coming true
[Chorus]
'Cause I've always loved you
I have always loved you
I have always loved you
And I always will
I have always loved you
I have always loved you
And I always will
[Bridge]
I used to believe only the lucky ones
Were blessed by the stars when they fell
Now I truly do believe the road to heaven
Is paved with the stones of hell
I can forgive the trip
But I won't forget the way there
[Verse 3]
After the film of my life
When they roll the credits on by
They've got to mention your name
Like a million times
Long before I ever knew
This was where I had to be
Etched in the stone
Of my future, indelible
Written forever and ever and ever
[Chorus]
I have always loved you
I have always loved you
I have always loved you
And I always will
I have always loved you
I have always loved you
And I always will
