He gave her bouquets of blue roses She held them upside-down they dried He came and went like wild horses And she cried, cried Sometimes a reservoir is frozen Sometimes a wishing-well runs dry She learned to summon up his kisses Like they were clear blue sky What's it gonna be tonight, tonight, tonight Are you you gonna save a life with all your maybe, might I don't need a thing a thing a thing a thing Just someone to bring to bring bring bring me blue roses He held his secrets in like lava She never knew when they might spill He doled out pieces of his present 'til she was unfulfilled (chorus) I will not give up on the light until Everything's not impossible oh I will not give up on the light until Everything's not impossible (chorus)
