BE HERE LONG

Lyrics

[Chorus] Close my eyes and think of you Go to sleep and dream of you We don't get to be here long I gave you the best of me Loved you more than anything But we don't get to be here long We don't get to be here long [Verse 1] And though my heart may be in pieces My eyes are still set on you And though I can't keep it together I know that you want me, too Oh, I'm swimming in the grief And there's no anchor that can hold me down I don't want any relief 'Cause I don't wanna let you go right now [Chorus] Close my eyes and think of you Go to sleep and dream of you We don't get to be here long (We don't get to, we don't get to be here) I gave you the best of me Loved you more than anything But we don't get to be here long [Verse 2] Though your moments were a charity They gave me more than I could use I know you found the promised land But I'm still here and I'm missing you [Chorus] Close my eyes and think of you Go to sleep and dream of you We don't get to be here long (We don't get to, we don't get to be here) I gave you the best of me Loved you more than anything But we don't get to be here long [Bridge] When the day comes and the fire is out I wanna know that I gave you all, I gave you all I had Yeah, when the day comes and the fire is out I wanna know that I gave you my everything [Chorus] Close my eyes and think of you Go to sleep and dream of you But we don't get to be here long (We don't get to, we don't get to be here) I gave you the best of me Loved you more than anything But we don't get to be here long Oh, we don't get to be here long
