I Will Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Tonight, looking back on all this life
It's funny how the time goes by
And how sometimes it slides away

[Verse 2]
Time, sliding through the dead of night
Shaking 'till you start to cry
Your eyes won't dry 'til light of day

[Chorus]
And sleep away
Don't let it go, don't let it fade
Your dreams may cave
And falling apart is the only way
We go so low when you don't know
I will, I will

[Verse 3]
If you go, take a little piece of me
Hang it by the place you sleep
And dream of me, don't leave

[Chorus]
And sleep away
Don't let it go, don't let it fade
Your dreams may cave
And falling apart is the only way
We go so low when you don't know
I will
[Bridge]
We go so low when you don't know
I will, I will

[Outro]
Tonight, looking back on all this life
It's funny how the time goes by
And how sometimes, it slides away
