Francesca Lyrics

[00:00.86] Do you think I'd give up?
[00:06.35] That this might've shook the love from me
[00:11.83] Or that I was on the brink?
[00:14.64] How could you think, darlin', I'd scare so easily?
[00:22.60] Now that it's done
[00:28.18] There's not one thing that I would change
[00:33.24] My life was a storm since I was born
[00:38.99] How could I fear any hurricane?
[00:44.43] If someone asked me at the end
[00:48.68] I'd tell them, "Put me back in it," darlin'
[00:54.41] I would do it again, ah, ah
[00:59.46] If I could hold you for a minute, darlin'
[01:05.16] I'd go through it again, ah, ah
[01:11.66] I would still be surprised I could find you
[01:16.42] Darlin', in any life
[01:21.05] If I could hold you for a minute, darlin'
[01:26.83] I would do it again, ah, ah
[01:32.62] For all that was said
[01:38.14] Of where we'd end up at the end of it
[01:43.50] When the heart would cease, ours never knew peace
[01:48.70] What good would it be on the far side of things?
[01:54.31] It was too soon
[01:59.42] When that part of you was ripped away
[02:05.03] A grip taking hold like a cancer that grows
[02:10.29] Each piece of your body that it takes
[02:16.49] Though I know my heart would break
[02:20.27] I'd tell them, "Put me back in it," darlin'
[02:26.36] I would do it again, ah, ah
[02:31.11] If I could hold you for a minute, darlin'
[02:36.84] I'd go through it again, ah, ah
[02:43.24] I would still be surprised I could find you
[02:48.06] Darlin', in any life
[02:52.69] If I could hold you for a minute, darlin'
[02:58.58] I would do it again, ah, ah
[03:03.95]
[03:22.10] I would not change it
[03:27.09] Each time (change it each time)
[03:30.26] Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I
[03:34.64] Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I
[03:41.29] I would not change it
[03:45.69] Each time (change it each time)
[03:48.63] Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I
[03:52.90] Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I
[04:00.07] I would not change it
[04:03.90] Each time (change it each time)
[04:07.17] Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I
[04:12.19] Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I
[04:23.85]
