Engrave My Name
ENGRAVE MY NAME
You used to say…
No-one would ever win your heart
On that first day…
I loved you from the very start
When you spoke…
your voice sounded oh so sweet,
your words tasted like iced cream,
that melted even in my dreams
The days went by…
I couldn’t get enough of you
Even time cried…
as the minutes faded out of view
Then you said:
“Some mountains are too high to climb”
I begged you for a little time
Our love song had run out of rhyme
Chorus
So, engrave my name...
Don’t forget our yesterday...
I may go down in flames...
My ashes won’t get in your way...
You’re carved on my heart...
Your mem’ry races through my veins
So, won’t you engrave my name...
Baby, please engrave my name
The years roll by...
I’ve never found no-one like you
Seems to me...
I’ve never gotten over you
I wonder if...
you ever, ever, think of me...
Or, are we driftwood floating in two streams...
merging only in my dreams
Chorus
So, engrave my name...
Don’t forget our yesterday...
I may go down in flames...
My ashes won’t get in your way
You’re carved on my heart...
Your mem’ry races through my veins...
So, won’t you engrave my name
Baby, please engrave my name
Baby, please engrave my name
Baby, please engrave my name
Baby, please engrave my name
fade to zero
