Mary Margaret

You see that stone?
It’s cold and gray,
And on it are the words she would say…
If she had,
If she had another day.
She'd say "Love,
Don’t let your love fade away".
She'd say "Love,
Don’t let your love fade away".
Mary Margaret Pickford Price,
Was born in 1783.
She had a real life,
She had real fears.
Felt real love.
I’m sure she cried real tears.
Come and gone in only two fold ten.
Now, save this stone, no one will think of her again….
And she says "Love,
Don’t let your love fade away".
She says "Love,
Don’t let your love fade away".
I feel myself,
I’m going round and round.
I get so high,
Then I come crashing down.
I think about life and the things I’ve done,
I believe in nothing and know that it…
Can’t be done.
So me and Mary,
I guess that we feel the same way.
Though we lived apart, and in such a different way.
It’s as hopeless as hopeless could ever hope to be,
But still she comes
And says to me….
She says "Love,
Don’t let your love fade away".
She says "Love,
Don’t let your love fade away".
Love, don't let Love fade away, Love, don't let Love fade away.
Love, don't let Love fade away. There're times I swear I can hear her say,
Love, don't let Love fade away, Love, don't let Love fade away,
Love, don't let Love fade away, there're times that I can swear I hear her say...
"Love, don't let your Love fade away".
She says "Love, don't let your Love fade away,
You've got to Love".
