Heritage

(álbum: Those Were The Days - 1972)

I wish I had a song to sing
To take your tears away
And see the smile come creeping
Back into your eye

If I had a dream to bring
To see you through your day
And keep you while you're sleeping
I'd put it by your side

If we could only steal tomorrow
And put it in your life
I'd be satisfied

So close your eyes, my darling
And never fear the night
Be sure I'll be beside you
Till the morning light

And everyday anew must stay
God knows we need the sight
But still I'll try to guide you
Be it wrong or right

If we could only steal tomorrow
And put it in your life
I'd be satisfied

But all I have are thoughts to borrow
I'd place them in your hand
And hope you'll understand
