[Verse 1]
I'll linger here
Your ring upon my finger, dear
And sing till dawn
A song of you and me and what and why
For time is all
I have to keep between these walls
And half-asleep
[Chorus]
The days go by
A million little nights and days go by
And I don't mind
Parades go by
So many beautiful parades go by
Leave me behind
[Verse 2]
I'll sit and stare
How could I venture anywhere
And let the centuries
Fall where they may but never die
For I have loved
And so I lost the world above
Beyond the moss
[Chorus]
The days go by
A million little nights and days go by
And I don't mind
Parades go by
So many beautiful parades go by
Leave me behind
The days go by
(The days go by)
And I don't mind
Parades go by
(Parades go by)
Leave me behind
