  • And if I could
    Surely would today
    And if I knew
    All the words to say
    And I could
    Wisp you away
    To my world

    [Chorus]
    But you might say, it's just the luck of the draw
    You might say, that you've done this before
    You might feel, that you're ten ft tall some days

    And all I ever wanted to be
    Will remain right here with you, and me,
    And the times we've had, and the times we're yet to see
    You and me and the things we've done
    And I'm sure it's meant to be

    Do you, do you, do you, do you agree?

    You fought it well
    And you fought it all away
    What you learn in school,
    You learn, you can lose in a day
    Many stand for you
    They will stand today

    [Chorus]

    And all I ever wanted to be
    Will remain right here, with you, and me,
    And the times we've had, and the times we're yet to see
    You and me and the things we've done
    And I'm sure it's meant to be

    Do you, do you, do you, do you agree?
    Do you, do you, do you, do you agree?
    Do you, do you, do you, do you agree?
    Do you, do you, do you, do you agree? Writer/s: PETER MURRAY

  • Stevo from Queensland - AustraliaIt's a touching song Ally. Pete Murray introduced this song with a story one of the times we saw him in concert. That night he said the song was inspired by a friends wife/girlfriend who had passed from cancer. He also shared with the crowd that the mourners ended up at RG's (Royal George Hotel, Fortitude Valley) after the funeral & when last drinks were called (presumably midnight/1am in those days) a butterfly flew in and landed on the guy who's partner had passed. They were sure the butterfly was connected to the spirit of the woman as butterflies don't fly at night.
