A THOUSAND YEARS
(Red West)
Pat Boone


Although my heart is heavily burdened
And my eyes can’t hold back the tears
Well I know that in time
I will have peace of mind
But it may take a thousand years, oh - oh,
But it may take a thousand years.


Well you walked out and left me this morning
And you didn’t even say goodbye
Well no matter how hard I tried
I couldn’t keep my pride
And I broke right down and I cried, cry, cry
Yes I broke right down and I cried.


Well you didn’t even give me a reason, oh no,
Well you didn’t say what I done wrong
All I know is you’re gone
And now I’m alone,
Yes, you’re gone and now I’m alone.


Well they say that time heals all heartaches
So I guess I have nothing to fear
‘Cos I know that in time
I will find peace of mind
But it may take a thousand years, oh – oh,
But it may take a thousand years.
