Three, four. Bless you, wherever you are windswept child on a shooting star restless spirits depart still we're deep in each other's hearts. Some people say it's over now that we spread our wings but we know better, darling the hollow ring is only last years echo, oh. Well, now bless you, whoever you are holding her now be warm and kind hearted and remember, all though love is strange now and forever, our love will remain the same. Some people say it's over now that we spread our wings but we know better, darling the hollow ring is only last years echo, oh. Diddle-dee-bop-bop. |
