"All I Gave To You" lyrics

"All I Gave To You"

You're far off somewhere
I'm dreaming of when I'll be with you
In a small town somewhere
All who I can think of is you

You never paid me much time
Time was all I gave to you
No money or gold
It was the only currency I knew

So I'll watch you from afar
Sometimes, I'll pretend that I'm there with you
With the hopes that you might be pretending too
With the hopes that you might be pretending too

In all the commotion, I found you
All resting deeply in solitude
With no other by your side
I never meant to intrude

You show up in all your kindness
Adorned by the light of noon
With your fiddle in hand
I asked you to play for me a tune
With your fiddle in hand
I asked you to play for me a tune

So I'll watch you from afar
Sometimes, I'll pretend that I'm there with you
With the hopes that you might be pretending too

So I'll watch you from afar
Sometimes, I'll pretend that I'm there with you
With the hopes that you might be pretending too
With the hopes that you might be pretending too
