🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • I can't live, I can't give anymore
  • Can't live if living is without you
  • I can't give, I can't give anymore
  • Well, I can't forget this evening

Echo the hook

  • Or your face as you were leaving
  • But I guess that's just the way the story goes
  • You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
  • Yes, it shows
can'tliveliving
