Stories

I've been told that all I need Is to share my love But I'm running out of time So I close my eyes and let time pass me by Will I give enough before I'm gone? Before I'm gone? I've built a house and burned it to the ground I have a secret that no one knows about I've been in trouble more than once or twice I've seen the darkest paradise I've been in danger and I've been safe Seen an angel and the devil beside my bed I've stayed awake till you were asleep And I made promises I couldn't keep Will they remember the stories I told? Will they remember - when they grow old? Will they remember the things that I've done? Will they remember - when I am gone? I've been as far as from the east to the west And I've seen things that ripped my heart from my chest I've sung with people in words I didn't know And I've got to see where their river goes And I spent money that I did not have And I've got lost with an empty backpack I've got my diamonds safe at home May they shine bright when they're on their own And I've heard stories I couldn't believe And I've felt miracles that made me truly see I've had so much within my reach And in the end it was always up to me Will they remember the stories I told? Will they remember - when they grow old? Will they remember the things that I've done? Will they remember - when I am gone? Will they remember the stories I told? Will they remember - when they grow old? Will they remember the things that I've done? Will they remember - when I am gone? Will they remember? Will they remember? Will they remember? Will they remember - when I am gone?
