歌詞

You fell in love across a backyard fence You read your books behind closed doors You lived and loved with some regrets "I'd do it all again," she said And as I turned around to go I heard her singing sweet and low Oh, Oh, I don't want to leave this earth Oh, Oh, I don't want to let it go He played the game, he played to win We watched the game become a war Now he's fighting hard he fights to live And now they're beating down his door And when I asked here's what he told I want to see my son grow old Oh, Oh, I don't want to leave this earth Oh, Oh, I don't want to let it go With all the endless summer days Watching winter while it fades Autumn's sunlight through the trees The scent of springtime on the breeze It's real life that sets you free Can I take it all with me? Watching babies while they sleep Chasing fireflies through the streets Sleeping under star-filled skies That moment real love arrives It's not as if I didn't know That I'd have to let it go Now I was born with a broken heart That's not a pretty way to start But deep down inside I always knew one thing Beautiful joy my life would be And when it's my time to go You'll hear me singing sweet and low Oh, Oh, I don't want to leave this earth Oh, Oh, I don't want to let it go
