My anchestors planted some sequoias by a road I've driven down that road since I was born Oh, never have you ever seen so many perfect evergreens But I would chop them all down just for you I have walked a million miles in a hundred pairs of shoes In search of some universal truth Well, a deity just came to me and handed me a scroll to read And I will glady pass it on to you Aa-ah Anything for you Aa-ah All of this is true But the best story I could ever tell Is the one where I am growing old with you I was having rotten luck and nothing went my way 'Til I stumbled on a clearing in the woods I found a town of leprechuans and grabbed each one for wishing on But I would let them all go just for you I have passed a natural plane and comuned with the dead But people always seem to want some proof No one even would believe, my love, that evil I got pictures of But I would throw them all out just for you Aa-ah Anything for you Aa-ah All of this is true But the best story I could ever tell Is the one where I am growing old with you My scar is from a polar bear My curse is from a witch I've caught a giant squid in all the seven seas I've picked up rocks from distant moons astronomers will discover soon But I would give them all back just for you I've gotten drunk and shot the breeze with kings of far off lands They've showed me wealth as far as I could see But their castles seemed all shrivelly and they cried with jealousy When I leaned in and told them about you I'd give up anthing Anything for you I'd give it all All of this true But the best story I could ever tell Is the one where I am growing old with you All I've ever wanted, see, was to tell you honestly I'd do anything for you I'd do absolutely anything for you
