Elsie Shaw - I Love You Lyrics

The days are getting shorter can't get your song off my mind
I don't know all the words but I remember all the rhymes
It's a song about somebody who was living on their own
The nights got cold and they realized they had no one to hold
You played it every day on the way back home from work
Who would've thought that such a song could my heart hurt
You put it on a playlist that you gave me for my birthday
I was turning seventeen and love was easy

Darling promise me you won't ever sail across the sea
Promise that you'll stay here by my side
Cause through it all I'll love you till I die

Darling promise me you won't ever sail across the sea
Promise that you'll stay here by my side
Cause through it all I'll love you till I die

Now we're sitting in a circle talking bout how much I love you
And I recognize this song but I can't say where from
I hear it every year, though this might be the last time
Didn't appreciate it 'till I saw the clock go "bye"
I think bout each night I was in those lights with you
The little laughs, the inside jokes, even the crying too
Who would've thought four years ago that I'd say I'd miss you
Didn't think I'd be this far now I'm living without you so

Darling promise me you won't ever sail across the sea
Promise that you'll stay here by my side
Cause through it all I'll love you till I die
