Janis Ian — The Love We Leave

[Verse 1] The love we leave may be forever Only time can tell Every memory’s a treasure Waiting on the shelf A bright bouquet for rainy days When we’ve got time to dream Never know just who we touch With the love we leave [Verse 2] The hand you hold in time of trouble Never will forget And when that hand no longer trembles It will pay the debt ‘Til еvery hand of every man Is hеld a hundred fold Never know just who you touch With the hand you hold [Bridge] I wish the love I leave could be forever In my children’s song And in the sparkle of their children’s laughter Long after I’m gone [Verse 3] Through goodbye tears and we lived heres That make up memories We never know just who we touch With the love we leave With the love we leave
