I Live For You

George Harrison · All Things Must Pass [2000]

All alone in this world am I

Not a care for this world have I

Only you keep my eyes open wide

Yes it's true

I live for you



Not a thing in this world do I own

Only sadness from all that is grown

In this darkness I wait for the day

Yes it's true

I live for you



For many years I wait

For many tears I wait



All this time my thoughts return to you

Give my love, that is all I can do

Wait in line till I feel you inside

Yes it's true

I live for you



For many years I wait

For many tears I wait



All this time my thoughts return to you

Give my love, that is all I can do

Wait in line till I feel you inside

Yes it's true

I live for you
