Never Is a Long Time

Well, If I stall at all or hesitate
The world of always never seems to wait
A comedy that could be so divine
Never is a long time
A shadow born to steal the light of day
You woke me up and said, "come on
Let’s play"
Well now I know this never has it's way

You are, you are, the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all to stay
By you, by you, by you, by you, for you, I do

I thought I'd done it all, I thought I knew
But nothing ever looked as clear as you
Now every never that I knew was fine
But never is a long time
Now I share this feeling with my dad
Stolen goods aren't always half that bad
A never that will always

You are, you are, the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The law that caused it all to stay
By you, by you, by you, by you

The faded piping on your dress
Will always have it's place, I guess
By you, by you
A common love that we can bless
The pleasure of my child’s best
Golden Books and tenderness
Have rescued me from emptiness

You are, you are, the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all to stay
You are, you are, the star I say
From far, from far, from far away
The laws that cause it all
It all, it all, it all, it all
It all to stay
