Alfie Lyrics

[00:02.03] What's it all about Alfie
[00:08.09] Is it just for the moment we live
[00:15.09] What's it all about
[00:19.09] When you sort it out, Alfie
[00:22.06] Are we meant to take more than we give
[00:29.06] Or are we meant to be kind?
[00:34.03] And if, if only fools are kind, Alfie
[00:44.04] Then I guess it is wise to be cruel
[00:51.04] And if life belongs only to the strong, Alfie
[00:58.02] What will you lend on an old golden rule?
[01:06.07] As sure as I believe there's a heaven above
[01:14.08] Alfie, I know there's something much more
[01:25.00] Something even non-believers can believe in
[01:36.04] I believe in love, Alfie
[01:45.00] Without true love we just exist, Alfie
[01:53.07] Until you find the love you've missed
[01:57.06] You're nothing, Alfie
[02:04.06]
[02:06.07] When you walk let your heart lead the way
[02:14.07] And you'll find love any day Alfie, Alfie
[02:36.03]
