"All Of Tomorrow" lyrics - BILLY STRINGS

I don't want anything, but I need you around
There's a light in me that only you have found
I know that I wrote you and told you to forget
But you held onto my heart, you are holding it yet

I can play like a strongman and smile when there's a crowd
But these old bars have never been so loud
And each time I'm alone with you upon my mind
I regret the day I left you and the other folks behind

[Chorus:]
If I could lose all of tomorrow
For the days we had before
Well I would trade my life of sorrow
For a life with you, the one that I adore

Well, the glimmer in your eyes told me that your love was true
Now the ribbons in your hair were navy blue
I know that I never will see your face again
This heart of mine keeps aching so sometimes I pretend...

[Chorus:]
That I could lose all of tomorrow
For the days we had before
Then I would trade my life of sorrow
For a life with you, the one that I adore

All the years we spent apart you were still dear in my heart
These memories feel just like yesterday
And I know that it's true: If I had just believed in you
I'd be free of all this pain, safely in your arms again

[Chorus:]
If I could lose all of tomorrow
For the days we had before
Well I would trade my life of sorrow
For a life with you, the one that I adore
