Lyrics I Could Have Been a Sailor - Maureen McGovern & Mike Renzi

We could tumble like a weed in the wind,
Or we could scatter like the leaves in a storm,
Or we could stand like an oak,
And laugh at the joke

That the love we had is gone.
We could buckle like a bridge made of tin,
And we could shatter like a house made of glass,
Or we could stand like a rock,

And whether the shock,
And try to make it last.
And give each other love ev'ry day,

A little goes a long, long way;
And we could have it all,
And we could have it all again.

Or we could crumble like a castle of sand,
And fade and wither like a rose on a vine,
Or we could stay with the dream,
Though lost it may seem,

And try a second time.
And give each other love ev'ry day,
A little goes a long, long way;

And we could have it all,
And we could have it all again
We could have it all again.
You stumble and you fall,

You're out of your losses,
You'll gather your forces,
And you try again.
And give each other love ev'ry day,
A little goes a long, long way;
And we could have it all,
And we could have it all again.
We could have it all,
We could have it all again.
