Lyrics
Round and Round
by Michael Jones
V1
As my Daddy lay
On his dying day
Wishing he had more to give
Then the the words he had to say
Son the thing i've found
It all goes round and round
Same old story told again
Same old ups and downs
PC
I'll leave you with these words
But it's your ride in the end
Be a lover and a dreamer
Be a fighter and a friend
Chorus
Cuz it goes round and round
That's all i think i've found
Take all the love that you can get
You'll never know for sure
If your're gonna get one day more
That's one thing, son
I hope you won't forget
Round and round and round
It all goes round and round
So have a drink and leave
Tomorrow for regret
V2
I've been a champion in the sun
And a bad guy on the run
Had my share of dreams
That never saw their day
But looking back from here
With my story ending near
Even the dark times seem to shine
In a lovin' way
PC
Son, i'll leave you with these words
But it's your ride in the end
Go be a lover, and a dreamer
Be a father and a friend
Chorus
Cuz it goes round and round
That's all i think i've found
Make all the love that you can get
You never know for sure
If we're gonna get one day more
i hope that's one thing son
You won't forget
Round and round and round
It all goes round and round
So have a drink and leave
Tomorrow for regret
Bridge
Son,
You'll have some magic moments
When the whole world seems to shine
And the things you know for sure today
E'll change a bit with time
Friends that said forever
Won't make it all the way
Things that seem to matter now
Grow a little less each day
Chorus
It all goes round and round
That's all i think i've found
Take all the love,son you can get
You'll never know for sure
If there's gonna be one day more
I hope that's one thing son
You won't forget
Round and round and round
It all goes round and round
Raise your glass and save
Tomorrow for regret
Outro
It goes round and round
Same old story
Round and round
Share a lovin' smile
And have a drink for me
Round and Round and round
Find the love that's all around
Looking back now, son
Love's the only thing i see.
