Genesis - You Might Recall Lyrics

What was it you said to me
Back in the days when things looked fine?
'Bout how we would be together
Until we left the earth behind

It's funny how things can change
'Cause there was a time I thought I'd be the one
Who'd leave and start again
But now, I'd stay forever

Ooh, my hopes are as the leaves upon the water
Just sunk in the night
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta
Ah, the end of a life

Or maybe when you're older and you're thinking back
You might recall, now, did I act carefully, did I do right?
Or were we meant to be, all of our lives
In love and harmony, all of our lives?

So now, take my hand
Come, hold me closely, near as you can
Believing all that we could be
And all that we have been and all that we are

Everyday seems summertime
And the river flow with wine
Ooh, when you were here with me
I wish, we'd stayed that way forever

Oh, my hopes are as the leaves upon the water
Just sunk in the night
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta
Ah, the end of a life

Or maybe when you're older and you're thinking back
Well, you might recall, now, did I act carefully, did I do right?
Or were we meant to be, all of our lives
In love and harmony, all of our lives?

So now, take my hand
Come, hold me closely, near as you can
Believing all that we could be
And all that we have been and all that we are

Oh, my hopes were as the leaves upon the water
Ah, sunk in the night
And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta
Oh, the end of a life

And maybe when you're older and you're thinking back
Oh, you might recall, now, did I act carefully, did I do right?
Or were we meant to be, all of our lives
In love and harmony, all of our lives?

So now, take my hand
Come, hold me closely as near as you can
Believing all that we could be
And all that we have been and all that we are
