Someday, when my life has passed me by I'll lay around and wonder why You were always there for me One way, in the eyes of a passer by I'll look around for another try And they'll fade away Just close your eyes and I'll take you there This place is warm without a care We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea I go to leave as you reach for me Some say better things will come our way No matter what they try to say You were always there for me Some way when the sun begins to shine I hear a song from another time And they fade away And they fade away Just close your eyes and I'll take you there This place is warm without a care We'll take a swim in the deep blue sea I go to leave as you reach for me Someone said you tried too long (Someday will pass me by) Someone said we got it all wrong (Someday, I wonder why) Someone said we tried too long (Someday will pass me by) Is there a place where I belong? (Someday will) So far so long so far away So far so wrong so far away away away Someday, when my life has passed me by I'll lay around and wonder why You were always there for me One way, in the eyes of a passer by I'll look around for another try And they'll fade away [Repeat until fades out:] And they fade away
