Don McLean - You Have Lived Lyrics

Artist: Don McLean

Album: Miscellaneous

Genre: Folk

  • Songwriters: Don Mc Lean

You have lived such a gentle life upon this earth
That I am stunned by your sight
If I could give but a token of the love you have
Then I might not be this lonely tonight

Let them have their smug and their cool
Confined by fashion and peer
I love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere
I love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere

Oh, there are so few brave one's like you, need I explain?
Never wondering what to do, what to venture, what to gain

And, you have loved in a total way, from flesh to soul
You speak, without coy without pose
Your eyes can see that the emperor has lost his clothes
And what's more, you'll tell the whole world what he stole

Let them have their fad and their fix
Confined by fashion and peer
I love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere
I love you for your courage in this frightened atmosphere
