Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been loving you a long time

Down all the years, down all the days

And I've cried for all your troubles

Smiled at your funny little ways

[Verse 2]

We watched our friends grow up together

And we saw them as they fell

Some of them fell into Heaven

Some of them fell into Hell

[Verse 3]

I took shelter from a shower

And I stepped into your arms

On a rainy night in Soho

The wind was whistling all its charms

[Verse 4]

I sang you all my sorrows

And you told me all your joys

Whatever happened to that old song

To all those little girls and boys

[Verse 5]

Now the song is nearly over

We may never find out what it means

But there's a light I hold before me

You're the measure of my dreams

The measure of my dreams
