A Thousand Years
Composer(s): Red West
Performer(s): Pat Boone



Although my heart is heavily burdened
And my eyes can’t hold back the tears
Well I know that in time
I will have peace of mind
But it may take a thousand years, oh - oh
But it may take a thousand years

Well you walked out and left me this morning
And you didn’t even say goodbye
Well no matter how hard I tried
I couldn’t keep my pride
And I broke right down and I cried, cry, cry
Yes I broke right down and I cried

Well you didn’t even give me a reason, oh no
Well you didn’t say what I done wrong
All I know is you’re gone
And now I’m alone
Yes, you’re gone and now I’m alone

Well they say that time heals all heartaches
So I guess I have nothing to fear
‘Cos I know that in time
I will find peace of mind
But it may take a thousand years, oh – oh
But it may take a thousand yearsThey say, and gypsies know
One day many moons ago
Two lovers knew such bliss
A thousand violins played when they would kiss

And now, like days gone by
When two gypsy lovers sigh
A thousand violins, sighing violins
Come from the sky

Oh sweet serenade please come to me
I need your aid to make her see
To make those lips that haunt me so
And taunt me so, want me so

My darling take my heart
And make magic music start
Be still and we may hear
Those thousand violins so near

To make those lips that haunt me so
And taunt me so, want me so

My darling take my heart
And make magic music start
Be still and we may hear
Those thousand violins so near
