The Belleville Outfit - Don't Take it for Granted Lyrics

Believe what I say is true,
my dear, I'm only here for you.
When time comes to lay my body on down,
you'll know what I say is true.
But please understand I am a regular man,
no burden can I lift from you.
My body is weary, my years disappearing,
you still can't decide what to do.
But I'll still be here, as long as it takes,
no reason to run, becoming what may.
Don't take it for granted, I'm right in your hand
and forever falling away.
I've given you everything that I can give,
all the love that my heart will allow.
So when I am dead and gone from here,
bury me deep in the ground.
but I'll still be here, as long as it takes,
no reason to run, becoming what may
Don't take it for granted, I'm right in your hand
and forever falling away.
