Congratulations
Congratulations - Bill Ring

V1) I swam through that sea you call love;
There’s no risk that I’ll drown.
You don’t need to fear me now;
I won’t be pulling you down.
The ghost of your memory has
Lost all it’s power to haunt.
Congratulations Darlin’
You have what you told me you want.

V2) I believe every word that you tell me;
I know that it’s true
You never loved me, and I’m foolish
If I still love you.
All those things I once thought that I needed
Neither tempt me nor taunt.
Congratulations Darlin’
You have what you told me you want.

Br) While I sing you my song of a river
That flows to the sea,
You can sing me those beautiful songs that you wrote
For every man you ever knew but me.

V3) There’s only three things that you said
That you wanted from me.
There’s one you don’t need now
And the others are still yours for free.
And if I ask nothing from you,
That’s your victory to flaunt.
Congratulations Darlin’
You have what you told me you want.

Br) I said I’ll sing you my song of a river
That flows to the sea,
While you sing me those beautiful songs that you
wrote
For every man you ever knew but me.

V4) In all of the places I’ve traveled,
There’s no one like you.
I can smile when I say that;
Your memory does not make me blue.
The face that looks out of my mirror
Isn’t desperate and gaunt.
Congratulate me, darlin’,
I have what you said I should want.

Tag) Congratulations.
