Bruce Springsteen - Terry's Song lyrics
[Bruce Springsteen - Terry's Song lyrics]
Well, they built the Titanic to
Be one of a kind
But many ships have ruled the seas
They built the Eiffel Tower to stand alone
But they could build another if they please
Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Egypt are unique
I suppose but when they built you, brother
They broke the mold
Now the world is filled with many
Wonders under the passing sun
And sometimes something comes along
And you know it's for sure the only one
The Mona Lisa, the David, the
Sistine Chapel, Jesus, Mary, and Joe
And when they built you, brother
They broke the mold
When they built you, brother
They turned dust into gold
When they built you, brother
They broke the mold
They say you can't take it with you
But I think that they're wrong
Because all I know is I woke up this morning
And something big was gone
Gone into that dark ether where you're
Still young and hard and cold
Just like when they built you, brother
They broke the mold
Now your death is upon us
And we'll return your ashes to the earth
And I know you'll take comfort in knowing
You've been roundly blessed and cursed
But love is a power greater than death
Just like the songs and stories told
And when she built you, brother
She broke the mold
That attitude's a power stronger than death
Alive and burning her stone cold
When they built you, brother
Be one of a kind
But many ships have ruled the seas
They built the Eiffel Tower to stand alone
But they could build another if they please
Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Egypt are unique
I suppose but when they built you, brother
They broke the mold
Now the world is filled with many
Wonders under the passing sun
And sometimes something comes along
And you know it's for sure the only one
The Mona Lisa, the David, the
Sistine Chapel, Jesus, Mary, and Joe
And when they built you, brother
They broke the mold
When they built you, brother
They turned dust into gold
When they built you, brother
They broke the mold
They say you can't take it with you
But I think that they're wrong
Because all I know is I woke up this morning
And something big was gone
Gone into that dark ether where you're
Still young and hard and cold
Just like when they built you, brother
They broke the mold
Now your death is upon us
And we'll return your ashes to the earth
And I know you'll take comfort in knowing
You've been roundly blessed and cursed
But love is a power greater than death
Just like the songs and stories told
And when she built you, brother
She broke the mold
That attitude's a power stronger than death
Alive and burning her stone cold
When they built you, brother
