Song Lyrics Copyright © 1989
By Neal R. Voron & Joseph F.M. Pokorny



WE THOUGHT WE WERE SO CLE - VER,
"WE THOUGHT SHE'D LIVE FOR - EV - ER."
WE KNEW THAT SHE WOULD BE THERE ALL THE TIME.
WE KNEW SHE WOULD IF SHE COULD.
SOME - TIMES WE FELT SHE REAL - LY SHOULD.
WE THOUGHT SHE'D LIVE FOR - EV - ER, FOR - EV - ER.

THE TALES OF TIME, THE TRAILS OF TIME.
WE NEV - ER WATCHED THE HANDS OF TIME.
WE BE - LIEVED SHE MAST - ERED THE OLD CLOCK.
SHE SEEMED SO GRAND AND IN COM - MAND,
A FLOW - ER IN A FER - TILE LAND,
BUT, SUD - DEN - LY, SHE LEFT US QUITE IN SHOCK.

WE THOUGHT WE WERE SO CLE - VER,
"WE THOUGHT SHE'D LIVE FOR - EV - ER."
WE KNEW THAT SHE WOULD BE THERE ALL THE TIME
WE KNEW SHE WOULD IF SHE COULD.
SOME - TIMES WE FELT SHE REAL - LY SHOULD.
WE THOUGHT SHE'D LIVE FOR - EV - ER, FOR - EV - ER.

A BET - TER WOM - AN NO MAN COULD FIND.
A LOV - ING MOTH - ER, NO CHILD' LEAVE BE - HIND,
BUT TIME HAD CAST HER MUCH TOO SHORT A LINE.
ALL THAT'S LEFT ARE MEM - O - RIES,
FAD - ED PIC - TURES, BUT STILL WE SEE,
THE LOVE SHE GAVE TO EV - ERY - ONE SHE KNEW.

WE THOUGHT WE WERE SO CLE - VER,
"WE THOUGHT SHE'D LIVE FOR - EV - ER."
WE KNEW THAT SHE WOULD BE THERE ALL THE TIME.
WE KNEW SHE WOULD IF SHE COULD.
SOME - TIMES WE FELT SHE REAL - LY SHOULD.
WE THOUGHT SHE'D LIVE FOR - EV - ER, FOR - EV - ER,
FOR - EV - ER, FOR - EV - ER.
