Parades Go By

I'll linger here

Your ring upon my finger, dear

And sing till dawn

A song of you and me and what and whyFor time is all

I have to keep

Between these walls

And half asleepThe days go by

A million little nights

And days go by

And I don't mind

Parades go by

So many beautiful parades go by

Leave me behindI'll sit and stare

How could I venture anywhere?

And let the centuries fall where they may

But never dieFor I have loved

And so I lost

The world above

Beyond the mossThe days go by

A million little nights

And days go by

And I don't mind

Parades go by

So many beautiful parades go by

Leave me behindThe days goes by

(Goes by)

Parades go by

And I don't mind

Parades go by

(Parades go by)

Parades go by

Leave me behind
