I built a monument to every word that's passed between us   And I built a monument to stand through history   And I watch the hourglass, the time will pass and you'll rue the day love   You ever strayed so far from me      And I built a monument to make the time more easy-passing   And I built a monument to stand up straight and free   When all's been said and done the time will come and it might be soon love   You'll see it more romantically      I built a monument to all we were   I built a monument to me and her      But now she's coming back, the roof is cracked, the walls are falling   And all those bitter words will float back to the scene   And I watch the hourglass, the time will pass and you'll rue the day love   You ever strayed so far from me      I built a monument to all we were   I built a monument to me and her   And only we can knock it down now      I built a monument to all we were   I built a monument to me and her   To you      I built a monument to all we were      Oohh      I built a monument to all we were      Ooohh
