Wonderful Life / Watch Over You Songtext
von Alter Bridge

Wonderful Life:
Yeah...
Close your eyes and just hear me sing
One last long good bye
One last song before you spread your wings
There′s so much left to say
And before this moment slips away

What a wonderful life
For as long as you've been at my side
And I want you to know
I loved you so

The cold night calls
And the tears fall like rain
It′s so hard letting go
Of the one thing I'll never replace
And soon you will be gone
But these words they will live on
Ohhhhh


What a wonderful life
For as long as you've been at my side
And I want you to know
I′ll miss you so
And though our days come to an end
Know I′ll never love like this again
What a wonderful life
My friend

And all that I am you let me be
I will remember you
For all that you've done
And given to me
Oh love will remain
This I concede
Now and forever more
Because of you now I believe
I believe

What a wonderful life
For as long as you′ve been at my side
And I want you know
I loved you so
What a wonderful life
For as long as you've been at my side
And I want you to know
I′ll miss you so


And though our days come to an end
Know I'll never love like this again
What a wonderful life
And with one last embrace
As the tears fall like rain you′re gone
And with one last goodbye
As you fade out tonight you're gone.
Ohhh...

Watch Over You:
Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning grey
Like my love

I tried to carry you
And make you whole
But it was never enough
I must go

And who is gonna save you
When I'm gone?
And who′ll watch over you
When I′m gone?

You say you care for me
But hide it well
How can you love someone
And not yourself?

And who is gonna save you
When I'm gone?
And who′ll watch over you
When I'm gone?

And when I′m gone
Who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?

I can't go on
And let you lose it all
It′s more than I can take
Who'll ease your pain?
Ease your pain

Who is gonna save you when I'm gone?
And who′ll watch over you?
And who will give you strength when you′re not strong
Who'll watch over you when I′ve gone away?

Snow is on the ground
Winter's come
You long to hear my voice
But I′m long gone
