David Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I look west and I believe
He looks east and he thinks of me

[Verse 2]
No, he won't see me anymore
I open gates that close his doors
Just to know that he lives and breathes
Has to be enough for me

[Verse 3]
There's an angel walking Earth
One of a kind amongst all this dirt
Sat down one day and I swallowed my pride
And I begged him not to leave my life

[Verse 4]
With a tear in my eye
And a lump in my throat
I read you David's final note
"Goodbye, little girl, don't you forget
Wasted love is a long regret"
"Goodbye, little girl, don't forget
Wasted love is a long regret"

[Outro]
Wasted love is a long regret

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
