A Rose For Emily - The Zombies

Hold me close and hold me fast This magic spell you cast, this is la vie en rose When you kiss me, Heaven sighs And though I close my eyes, I see la vie en rose When you press me to your heart I'm in a world apart, a world where roses bloom And when you speak, angels sing from above Everyday words seem to turn into love songs Give your heart and soul to me And life will always be la vie en rose

For an evening I thought you were the one It came in pieces And hit me all at once On the rooftop of your new apartment Felt it there when you were walking me home And when we ran into my friends I paused as I said your name, I didn't say What you were to me There weren't words, but we both knew Don't go and pack your heart up Promise me you'll start again And even better with someone new Please have no regrets I wish you all the best and Know every moment meant something to me too 'Cause I already miss you right beside me while we cross the street I miss the way you'd talk to strangers with your arm around me And I even miss the unevenness of the two of us hand in hand 'Cause for an evening there As I'm leaving I wonder if you wonder what I mean when I say that it's not you, no, it's just Me, myself, and my stupid habit Of breaking hearts as soon as I have them, oh Ooh 'Cause when we ran into your friends You smiled when you said my name And from your face They knew I was the one You wouldn't shut up about Don't go and pack your heart up Promise me you'll start again And even better with someone new Please have no regrets I wish you all the best and Know every moment meant something to me too 'Cause I already miss you right beside me while we cross the street I miss the way you'd talk to strangers with your arm around me And I even miss the unevenness of the two of us hand in hand 'Cause for an evening there you were my man Mmm, mm-mm 'Cause I already miss the way you'd wrap up both my hands in yours I miss the way you'd say hello when you'd open up the door And I even miss our uneven kiss and the way I felt for you then 'Cause for an evening there you were my man For an evening there you were my man For an evening there you were my man Mmm

Frozen lake Frozen tears Frozen hope Frozen years Life came slowly to a stall, a stall 'Cause you've been paralyzed by all you want Feeling lifeless and cold Always coming up a little short Don't Lay Down Your life's not over Gotta stand Your ground If your heart's still beating then It's worth fighting for Even when you're bleeding You're worth fighting for Quiet mouth Empty eyes Pretty face all disguised So disappointed in the years She's tried Now taking solace In the tears she cries Feeling helpless and weak Letting failure have a voice to speak Don't Lay Down Your life's not over Gotta stand your ground If your heart's still beating then It's worth Fighting for Even when you're bleeding You're worth fighting for There's a peace in the morning Of starting new So when you hear hope calling See it through See it through See it through Don't Lay Down Your life's not over Gotta stand your ground If your heart's still beating then It's worth Fighting for Even when you're bleeding You're worth fighting for You're worth fighting for You're worth fighting for
