James Parr - All the Things

I went back there today
Past the fields and the orchards where we once lay
To that place by the sea
To try to bring back all the things she said to me

She said, "these are the days you've got to hold on to
No matter how few or how far between
And I want you to remember me
As the person I wanted to be..."

Oh and how far have we gone to get here
Oh and how far can you see from this place
You were always the one who could bring
Some kind of truth to your feeling that everything counts for something
This is what she gave me
All the things she gave me

As the light fades I turn from the sea
And lift my eyes to that stone on the hill where she'll always be
Still she whispers when I turn to go
"There's so much I still want you to know..."

She said, "all that you'll have is your heart
On the days when the world almost tears you apart
Please say that you will promise me
You'll make your life everything you want it to be..."

Oh and how far away have you gone
Oh and how far can you see from that place
You were always the one who believed
That anyone who thinks they can't determine their life is deceived
This is what she gave me
All the things she gave me
