I've been loving you a long time   Down all the years, down all the days   And I've cried for all your troubles   Smiled at your funny little ways      We watched our friends grow up together   And we saw them as they fell   Some of them fell into Heaven   And some of them fell into Hell      I took shelter from a shower   And I stepped into your arms   On a rainy night in Soho   The wind was whistling all its charms      I sang you all my sorrows   And you told me all your joys   Whatever happened to that old song   To all those little girls and boys      Now the song is nearly over   We may never find out what it means   But there's a light I hold before me   And you're the measure of my dreams   The measure of my dreams
