Lyrics Emerson, Lake & Palmer

Emerson, Lake & Palmer

For You

For you and I

There never was a way to say goodbye

The nights of love

We loved so hard we shook the stars above

Ooh, such a love

Expecting so much, as we touched

That each the other led to the fire

Was it the words left unspoken

Scared for my heart, she's been broken

That in the ice of a moment

You closed the doors on our love

Now for you and for me

Lies branded on our hearts the memory

Just a glance and a smile

A looking back and knowing all the while

Ooh, it was love

As close as it'll ever come, it's not a crime

For two lonely people to try

To find some love in the madness

Of this world full of sadness

And though we woke in the ashes

Just for a while we had dreamed

I gave you all I could give

It was for you that I lived

Why did you do what you did

And close the door of my heart

Next time you fall in love

You'd better tell the truth

Next time you fall in love

Don't do it just for you

For you, for you, for you

For you, for you, for you

For you

For you, for you, for you

For you, for you, for you
