More Years With You Than Not

from Beloved by Michael Henry Collins

/

lyrics

More years with you than not
there's nothing more I want
nostalgia a shrinking violet
although your past makes me want you more
The eyes of every lover through me
from Orpheus to lovers unborn
watching you turn to fire
without smoke
in the alpenglow
like a magic lantern show

The first morning every morning
the last evening every evening
no more multitudes for me
I've never been in one place at once
It's always later than I think
I gotta find a new way to tell time
and live
as if I won't get
more years with you than not

More years with you than not
a peace I've never known
although I know we must go
where the other cannot follow
so i will learn how to be
close to you when I'm alone
even the mountains are smaller
when we're apart they seem speak
"There was never time enough to grow old!"

The first morning every morning
the last evening every evening
no more multitudes for me
I've never been in one place at once
It's always later than I think
I gotta find a new way to tell time
and I'm gonna live
as if I won't get
more years with you than not

More years with you than not
More years with you than not
More years with you than not
