Leonard Cohen Always lyrics

Oh, friends, don't matter if you're a man or a woman
If you're in love with somebody
These are the words that you gotta learn to say
Now, listen carefully, here it comes

I'll be lovin' you, always with a love that's true, always
When the thing you've planned needs my helpin' hand
I will understand, always, always

Days may not be fair, always
Yeah, but that's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour, not for just a day
Not for just a year, always

I said that I'll be lovin' you, always
With a love that's true, a love that's true, always
When the thing you've planned needs my helpin' hand
I will, I will understand, always, always

Oh, that's pretty, that's pretty too, oh darling


The days may not be fair, always
Yeah, but that's when I'll be there, always

Not for just a second, or a minute, or an hour
Not for just the weekend and a shake down in the shower
Not for just the summer and the winter going sour
But always, always, always

Okay, if you don't wanna quit, let's try it one more time

I'll be lovin' you, always with a love that's true, always
When the thing you've planned needs my helpin' hand
I will understand, I will, I will understand, always, always

The days may not be fair, always
Don't worry, baby, that's when I'll be there, always
Not for just an hour, not for just a day
Not for just a year, but always
