Lyrics and translation
Original
I've been lovin' you a long time.
Down all the years and all the days.
And I've cried for all your troubles.
Smiled at your funny little ways.
We watched our friends grow up together.
And we saw 'em as they fell.
Some of them fell into heaven.
Some of them fell into hell.
I took shelter from the showers.
And I stepped into your arms.
On a rainy night in Soho.
The wind was whistlin' on its charms.
And I sang you all my sorrows.
You told me all of your joys.
Whatever happened to that old song?
To all those little girls and boys.
Sometimes
I'd wake up in the morning.
The ginger lady by my bed.
Covered in a cloak of silence.
I'd hear you talkin' in my head.
Now I'm not singin' for the future.
And I'm not dreamin' of the past.
I'm not talkin' of the first times.
I never think about the last.
And now the song is nearly over.
We may never find out what it means.
Still there's a light I hold before me.
You're the measure of my dreams.
The measure of my dreams.
