Heritage Songtext

von Mary Hopkin

I wish I had a song to sing

to take your tears away

and see the smile come creeping

back into your eye.



If I had a dream to bring

to see you through your day

and keep you while you're sleeping

I'd put it by your side.

[Refrain]


If we could only steal tomorrow

and put it in your life
And I'd be satisfied.



So close your eyes, my darling

and never fear the night,

be sure I'll be beside you

Till the morning light.



And everyday a new must stay,

God knows we need the sight,

But still I'll try to guide you

be it wrong or right.

[Refrain]



But all I have are thoughts to borrow

I'd place them in your hand

And hope you'll understand.
