Man of Many Faces

I've been a man of many faces, let you down in many ways Had to go full circle just to stand again in front of you today So long the hostage of the lies, of the lies that I have told Had them wrapped around my neck, I didn't realize until I almost choked Now I'm not asking for forgiveness, that's a thing I don't deserve I just wanna say goodbye before the early morning birds sing, "It's too late" Well, there's no reason to be sad I was a jerk and I have paid Just let me tell you once, you are the loveliest, sweetest thing on Earth When my time is up, I will remember your face and I'll go through the last threshold, baby, singing your praises So that they'll hear about you, oh, in heaven and hell When it's time for me to go, I'll go calling your name I've been to so many places, I can barely keep the count But I've never met nobody that compared to you, had a chance to stand his ground From the rich men on the hills to the workers in the plains I have seen a thousand lives and none of them were worth a letter in your name So I'll try and try and try, then take a breath and try again 'Cause I ain't stopping 'til I make you see the amazing being you just became Well, I'm not very good with words, but I am sure you'd understand How a man's decisions tend to be a total mess when that man's hurt When my time is up, I will remember your face and I'll go through the last threshold, baby, singing your praises So that they'll hear about you, oh, in heaven and hell When it's time for me to go, I'll go calling your name
