HEAVEN 17 - Come Live With Me lyrics

I was thirty-seven

You were seventeen

You were half my age

The youth I'd never seen

Unlikely people meeting in a dream

Heaven only knows the way it should have been

Here today my tomorrow

Where you lead I will follow

All that kissing

No passion missing

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye

Dinner parties followed

And all my age implies

My friends began to talk

I began to realise

If half the things they say

Are quarter true of me

Then how can I eclipse the youth

You gave to set me free

There was something in your smile

That was hard to reconcile

The time had come to testify to reason

Though years will not erase

Remembrance of those days

At least there's no submission

To hearts treason

Here today my tomorrow

No more shame only sorrow

All that kissing

There's something missing

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye

Now there's nothing left to cry for

And there's nowhere left to go

Just another hopeless fight

But how were we to know

The strong are sometimes wrong

But the weak are never free

The choice we made we can't evade

Don't try to follow me

Here today my tomorrow

No more pain only sorrow

All that kissing

There's something missing

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye

Come live with me

Kiss the boys goodbye
