 Original lyrics
Verse 1
LFove is a Bbglass of GmwineC  
It's Balanced on the D#siderail Bbof a ship
DmAcross the sea at midnight Fcalm, iBbt may not last the daylight
Gmcalm And the tFrip is long
BbAnd the waves are strong
But then Fagain, it might be up there Gmforever
Chorus 1
I've heard of Bbbirds that never touch the laFnd
But sCleep on thBbe winds
And if Gmuntouched by sBbomeone's careCless hand
Asleep Amon the windBbs
Our lGmove migCht last Amuntil the jFourney Bbends
Alive  C  GmAliveC  
Verse 2
AmAnd our lFives are just Bbbubbles of tCime
They're Bbrainbow-colored tFhey're
They're sBbhining in the sun
AmThey drift Dmabove the treetops nGmow
FIn daBbnger Cif the breeze dBbrops somehow
And darling, Fthat's all it would take
yet Bbwe threaten not to break
AFnd you know we could be Fup here foreveGmr
Chorus 2
I've heard of birds that never touch the Fland
But sleep on tChe wBbinds
And if untouched Gmby soCmeone's careless Fhand
CAsleep Fon the Bbwinds
Outro
Our Clives might last Bbuntill the love Ambegins
So stay Bbalive and lCet me Bbtry as hard as you Cdo
To Fstay alBbive, please lGmet me Cbe as much Falive as Dmyou
