A Love Story
Sara Bareilles
Intro
Verse
I Threw A Coin Into A Fountain
On A Mountain Top In Rome
The Water Lit From Underneath
So You Could See How Deep It Didn't Go
I Wished For Cinematic Love
Or Some Approximation Of It
Like Somebody Else's Bravery
Could Ever Be The Thing To Save Me
On A Birthday Candle's Flame
I Wished To Glorify My Given Name
And Prove My Worth By Making Myself Known
Chorus
I Watch The Years Collect And Gather
And My Bright Future Knows I'm Staring At Her
And She Never Asks About The Glory
She Just Wants A Love Story
Mmm, Mm Mm Mmmm Mm
Verse
In The Colorado Skies
There Is The Bluest Bird With The Blackest Eyes
Who Fascinates A Stranger
Who Just Shared With Me He Lost His Wife
Five Days Ago He Softly Said
50 Years Of Loving Her
And When She Held My Hand And Said Goodbye
She Said, "Don't Give Up, I'll Send You Signs"
Chorus
He Stared Up At The Heavens
And The Tears Rolled Down His Face
Told Me I Was Living Proof Of Her
To Him That Very Day
It Took My Breath Away, His Sadness
And I Held It To My Chest
And I Let It Break Me Open And Be Bleeeeeeeeeeessed
Be Blessed
Verse
Demolish Me, My Maker
I Could Ask For Nothing More
I Will Build The Deepest Wishing Well
From The Tears Upon My Kitchen Floor
A Childhood Made Of Wishes
Naïve And Superficial
Compared To What Is Given
They Don't Even Hold A Candle
Chorus
Nothing That I've Asked For
Has Ever Been As True
As What Was Coming For Me When It Comes From You
Nothing That I've Asked For
Has Ever Been As True
As What Was Coming For Me When It Comes From You
Nothing That I've Asked For
Has Ever Been As True
Spoken
So Let Me Say Right Now For The Record
I Am Still Going To Be Here
Asking This World To Dance
Even If It Keeps Stepping On My Holy Feet
You, You Stay Here With Me, Okay?
You Stay Here With Me
Raising Your Bite Against The Bitter Dark
Your Bright Longing
Your Brilliant Fists Of Loss
Friend
If The Only Thing We Have To Gain In Staying Is Each Other
My God That Is Plaenty
My God That Is Wnough
My God That Is So So Much For The Light To Give
Each Of Us At Each Other's Backs
Whispering Over And Over And Over
"Live, Live, Live"
Outro
Nothing That I've Asked For
Has Ever Been As True
As What Was Coming For Me When It Comes From You
Nothing That I've Asked For
Has Ever Been As True
As What Was Coming For Me When It Comes From You
