Until The Day I Die
Back in the hills when we were only kids Love shined like a diamond in your eyes I swore I'd never hurt you - then I did Now I'm all alone with all my lies I promised that I'd never be untrue I'd never make you cry The only promise that I didn't break Was to love you until the day I die I wish I'd never seen those city lights A sight for a country boy to see For every one that you see shinin' bright Another is burnin' out like me I wouldn't listen though you told me dear I couldn't see the lie But all the same I still love you tonight And I'll love you until the day I die They built this prison just for fools like me Who don't know a treasure from a stone I killed a man now I won't ever see The green rollin' hills where I was born No I won't ever see your face again But if I close my eyes I can almost hear you call me back to then And I'll love you until the day I die Aus Songtexte Mania
