Heritage - Mary Hopkin
I wish I had a song to sing
To take your tears away
And see the smile come creeping
Back into your eye
If I had a dream to bring
To see you through your day
And keep you while you're sleeping
I'd put it by your side
If we could only steal tomorrow
And put it in your life
I'd be satisfied.
So close your eyes, my darling
And never fear the night
Be sure I'll be beside you
Till the morning light
And everyday anew must stay
God knows we need the sight
But still I'll try to guide you
Be it wrong or right
If we could only steal tomorrow
And put it in your life
I'd be satisfied
But all I have are thoughts to borrow
I'd place them in your hand
And hope you'll understand.
