Lyrics
A THOUSAND LIFETIMES
Words and Music By Patrick Fleming, Jr.
I could have been a knight in shining armor sitting on a steed
Riding off into distant lands in the name of the Queen
And you could have been that damsel in distress I saved
But when we got back you ran off before I could ask you to stay
And I have lived a Thousand Lifetimes
And I have died a thousand deaths
And each time I loved you
I could have been a cowboy making my way across the Wild West
Peacemaker by my side ready to find out who?s the best
And you could have been that fair-haired girl who caught my eye
But like the sun you blinded me and I drew too slowly and died
And I have lived a Thousand Lifetimes
And I have died a thousand deaths
And each time your name was my last breath
And I have seen a thousand visions
Woke up from a thousand dreams
And each time I loved you
An air of familiarity holds me within
Like a ghost walking through me I can feel you on my skin
You could have been that girl who tried to win my love
Turned away at the breaking point when push came to shove
And I must have been that fool who did not understand
And let you walk away, you slipped right through my hands
And I have lived a Thousand Lifetimes
And I have died a thousand deaths
And each time your name was my last breath
And I have seen a thousand visions
Woke up from a thousand dreams
And each time I loved you
And I have seen a thousand visions
Woke up to a thousand dreams
And each time I loved you? You know I loved you?
I could have been a pilot over Berlin in the fall of ?44
Shot down behind the enemy?s lines far from home
And you could have been that bedside nurse who healed my heart
But when the allies broke through the ranks I knew they?d tear us apart....
You know I loved you?
