Always Lyrics by Leonard Cohen

The Future

1992

(Oh friends, ... don't matter if you're a man or a woman
If you're in love with somebody
These are the words that you got to learn to say
Now listen carefully. Here it comes...)

I'll be loving you always
With a love that's true, always
When the thing you've planned
Needs my helping hand
I will understand, always, always

Days may not be fair, always
Yeah but that's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year, but always

I said that I'll be loving you, always
With a love that's true, a love that's true, always
When the thing you've planned
Needs my helping hand
I will, I will understand, always, always

(Oh that's pretty ... that's pretty too ... Oh darling)

The days may not be fair, always
Yeah but that's when I'll be there, always
Not for just a second, or a minute, or an hour
Not for just a weekend and a shake down in the shower
Not for just the summer and the winter going sour
But always, always, always

(Ok if you don't want to quit, let's try it one more time)

I'll be loving you, always
With a love that's true, always
When the thing you've planned
Needs my helping hand
I will understand, I will, I will understand, always, always

The days may not be fair, always
(Don't worry, baby)
That's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour
Not for just a day
Not for just a year, but always
