MY LEGACY

You know, I always dreamed
I always dreamed of leaving behind me some kind of legacy
Something like Van Gogh
So that when my time was up, people would say
“This was a lizard who felt life deeply”
So you keep looking for that
For some way to touch someone in this cold, scaly world

We love you, baby, we love you
We’re gonna miss you when you’re gone
We love you, baby, we love you

Have I ever loved? Well, you tell me
Could someone who wrote a song like this be incapable of love?

As I left flowers on your doorstep today I lingered for a little while
Imagining how you’d find them with glee and hold them as you stepped inside
I gave you roses of ruby red for the passion that I feel inside
And Baby’s Breath for the innocence that tells me that your love is real
And I pray every day that your love will be strong as your will to live
That’s all I have to give, never your true heart to part
Oh, brother!

As he left flowers on your doorstep today, he lingered for a little while
Imagining how you’d find them with glee and hold them as you stepped inside
He gave you roses of ruby red for the passion that he feels inside
And Baby’s Breath for the innocence that tells him that your love is real
And he prays every day that your love will be strong as your will to live
That’s all he has to give, never your true hearts to part
Come on now
Come on, come on, baby, baby
Come on, come on, baby, baby
Are you ever gonna learn to love again?
Come on, come on, baby, baby
Come on, come on, baby, baby
Are you ever gonna learn to love again?
Till the day I die, till the day I die, you can’t stop me from lovin’ this world I’m in
Till the day I die, till the day I die, you can’t stop me from lovin’ this world I’m in
But you tell me:
Could someone who wrote a song like this be incapable of love?

You can never take this love from
You can never take this love from
No, uh-uh! Uh-huh! No, no!
Oh, no, no, no, no
Oh, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
