If you'd only seen the things I've seen
And walked the roads
I walked alone
Maybe you would know why I sing
And why I love
This sad old song
'Cause long ago
And far away
There lived a girl
Who knew nothing
All those years gone by
And hear I am
I sing her song
And wear her name
Dear, please remember
I will always be here for you
Through all the dark and lonely days
To come
When you grow weary
I will sing a song of mercy
Like this sweet lullaby
To carry you home
To carry you home
To carry you
And if you think
That you can choose
The way this life
Lays out your coat
Think of all those years gone by
And still we sing our songs
Of broken hearts
Dear, please remember
I will always be here for you
All through the dark and lonely days
To come
And when you grow weary
I will sing a song of mercy
Like this sweet lullaby
To carry you home
To carry you home
To carry you home
To carry you
Home
And kingdoms rise
And then they fall
And cities die
As do we all
But there will always be
There will always be
This sad old song
To touch your heart
And warm your soul
