I'll linger here your ring upon my finger dear and sing till dawn A song of you and me and what and why for time is all I have to keep Between these walls and half asleep the days go by a million little Nights and days go by and I don't mind Parades go by So many beautiful Parades go by Leave me behind I'll sit and stare how could I venture Anywhere and let the centuries fall where they may but never die For I have loved and so I lost the world above beyond the moss
