Sentimental LadyFleetwood Mac( Welch, Bob )
You are here and warmBut I could look away and you'd be goneCause we live in a timeWhen meaning falls in splinters from our livesAnd that's why I've travelled farCause I come so together where you are
And all of the things that I said that I wantedCome rushing by in my head when I'm with you14 joys and a will to be merryAnd all of the things that we say are verySentimental gentle windBlowing through my life againSentimental LadyGentle one
Now you are here todayBut easily you might just go awayCause we live in a timeWhen paintings have no color, words don't rhymeAnd that's why I've travelled farCause I come so together where you are
And all of the things that I said that I wantedCome rushing by in my head when I'm with you14 joys and a will to be merryAnd all of the things that we say are verySentimental gentle windBlowing through my life againSentimental LadyGentle one
You are here and warmBut I could look away and you'd be goneCause we live in a timeWhen meaning falls in splinters from our livesAnd that's why I've travelled farCause I come so together where you are
Yes and all of the things that I said that I wantedCome rushing by in my head when I'm with you14 joys and a will to be merryAnd all of the things that we say are verySentimental gentle windBlowing through my life againSentimental LadyGentle one
Sentimental gentle windBlowing through my life againSentimental LadyGentle one
Sentimental gentle windBlowing through my life againSentimental LadyGentle one
Well sentimental gentle windBlowing through my life againSentimental LadyGentle one
