Don Mclean You Have Lived Lyrics

You Have Lived Lyrics

You have lived such a gentle life upon this earth

that I am stunned by
your sight.

If I could give but a token of the love you have,

then
I might not be this lonely tonight.



Let them have their smug and
their cool,  confined by fashion and peer.

I love you for your courage in
this  frightened atmosphere.

I love you for your courage in this 
frightened atmosphere.



Oh, there are so few brave one's like you. 
Need I explain?

Never wondering what to do, what to venture, what to
gain.



And, you have loved, in a total way, from flesh to soul.

You speak, without coy without pose.

Your eyes can see that the
emperor has lost his clothes.

And what's more, you'll tell the whole
world what he stole.



Let them have their fad and their fix, 
confined by fashion and peer.

I love you for your courage in this
frightened atmosphere.

I love you for your courage in this frightened
atmosphere.
