Passing Chord - Nick Harper

What if I was to say goodbye today,

And then pass into your endless blue,

And wait for weightlessness to overtake me?

I know that I’d be sad for all the times we had,

But I know that you won’t shed tears about me,

Come on, won’t you let me be your song?

I was mean and untrue to all the good things you do,

But I know that now, I’m going to try somehow,

To make you believe you can’t go on without me,

I know your endless time does not compare to mine,

But I can still drink your wine and laugh and joke about it,

Come on, won’t you let me be your song?

Let me be your melody,

Let me be the rhythm bringing you to me,

Let our love be ever deep and ever long,

I don’t want to be just a passing chord in your song.

Come on, won’t you let me be your song?

Let me be your melody,

Let me be the rhythm bringing you to me,

Let our love be ever true and ever long,

I don’t want to be just a passing chord in your song.
