Through the Ages by Gabrielle Aplin Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who is the reason, the one you're living for?
Who is the reason, the one you're crying for?
If I look deep inside the cabins of my heart
All I see is you smiling back at me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
This is where it all begins,
Your hands so soft and gentle
I won't let it go,
No, I won't let it go
[Chorus 1]
On the last day on the earth, all I wanna do
Is share a smile with you, 'til I cross the twilight
Nothing could be truer than, this love I have for you
My love will testify and last through the ages
[Verse 2]
Every soul alive has shadows in their heart
Every soul alive is looking for the true light
But when you let it shine, the blackest shadow hides
Darkness receding from the light of day
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nothing would ever be enough
But you spread your wings
As if to wrap around me now
You wrap around me now.
[Chorus 2]
On the last day on the earth, all I wanna do
Is keep a smile with you, until I close my eyes
Nothing could be truer than, this love I have for you
History books will tell our love through the ages
[Bridge]
No matter how hard I tried
To find a reason to be living
Nothing mattered 'til
I found those loving eyes
[Chorus 3]
On the last day on the earth, all I wanna do
Is keep a smile for you, 'til I cross the twilight
Nothing could be truer than, this love I have for you
Everyone will know our love through the ages
[Outro]
Who is the reason, the one you're living for?
Who is the reason, the one you're crying for?
If I look deep inside the cabins of my heart
All I see is you smiling back at me
Who is the reason, the one you're living for?
Who is the reason, the one you're crying for?
If I look deep inside the cabins of my heart
All I see is you smiling back at me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
This is where it all begins,
Your hands so soft and gentle
I won't let it go,
No, I won't let it go
[Chorus 1]
On the last day on the earth, all I wanna do
Is share a smile with you, 'til I cross the twilight
Nothing could be truer than, this love I have for you
My love will testify and last through the ages
[Verse 2]
Every soul alive has shadows in their heart
Every soul alive is looking for the true light
But when you let it shine, the blackest shadow hides
Darkness receding from the light of day
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Nothing would ever be enough
But you spread your wings
As if to wrap around me now
You wrap around me now.
[Chorus 2]
On the last day on the earth, all I wanna do
Is keep a smile with you, until I close my eyes
Nothing could be truer than, this love I have for you
History books will tell our love through the ages
[Bridge]
No matter how hard I tried
To find a reason to be living
Nothing mattered 'til
I found those loving eyes
[Chorus 3]
On the last day on the earth, all I wanna do
Is keep a smile for you, 'til I cross the twilight
Nothing could be truer than, this love I have for you
Everyone will know our love through the ages
[Outro]
Who is the reason, the one you're living for?
Who is the reason, the one you're crying for?
If I look deep inside the cabins of my heart
All I see is you smiling back at me
