My Morning Jacket - I Will Sing You Songs Lyrics






Ahh
Ahh

I will sing to you of greater things
Money, gold and diamond rings
Just don't make it last
Any longer than it has to

Stories of the greater years
Fill your heart and soul with beer
Just don't make it last
Any longer than it has to

Ahh
Ahh

I will sing to you of greater things
Money, gold and diamond rings
Just don't make it last
Any longer than it has to

Stories of the greater years
What's in here won't disappear
Just don't make it last
Any longer than it has to

Ahh
Ahh

We live
We live
We live
...

  1. M.... S....

    I don't get how they've created a perfect band. Every song is amazing. Thank you MMM.

  2. C.... M....

    Good song😁💖

  3. Y.... ....

    Do you guys feel that strange good euphoric feels ! or i'm the only one ? ( currently trippin' )

  4. T.... S....

    His voice immediately produces tears...it’s so beautiful 😍❤️❤️

  5. M.... W....

    When they start to go off at about the 6 min mark, it’s a true transcendence until the end of the song. The burst of instrument paired with James’ soul screaming at the top of its lungs speaks to us all, who want so badly to hold on to the great memories of the past and to go there. Brings me to tears.

  6. D.... R....

    Just don't make it last any longer than it has to~ I love you Bella

  7. B.... T....

    This song transports me to my college bed and my first love. We just broke up recently after 9 years. It's crazy how songs become a part of you, the mixture of warmth, dreams, sadness, and hope all in one. There is such longing and innocence in the atmosphere of this song for me. Songs become a part of who you are, who you were, and you try to hold on to that feeling, but like love, it's fleeting. My heart aches, but then I'm still and I remember to be grateful for my little life.

  8. A.... J....

    The best things does last a little less longer...

  9. O.... C....

    Esa batería me vuelve loco!! <3

  10. S.... �....

    Ciao Dina

  11. m.... j....

    So many years of my life in this song.

  12. K.... F....

    Believe it or not I just heard this song for the 1st time about 2 weeks ago. I took my wife to a very nice dinner by the water and the restaurant was playing this song instead of the usual crappy boring generic instrumental music. It is just one of those songs that will always make me remember every little detail of that night. From the red dress she wore, to the type of wine she was drinking, to every time she smiled at me, right down to our conversation that night. No matter what happens to me or how old and forgetful I become some day, every time I hear this song I will remember that night. This song is truly beautiful.

  13. T.... H....

    This guy...my god, his voice...he makes Enya sound like a Russian couple arguing at a bowling alley 😂😂😂

  14. 1.... ....

    Just drifting here on the sea of tranquility...

  15. g.... ....

    Just epic.

  16. h.... k....

    Tek türk ben olmak istiyorum

  17. M.... R....

    Oh my God makes me wet

  18. S.... T....

    I think this is what love sounds like.

  19. f.... f....

    All those tv producers must have good taste in music I've heard this band/ phish/ flaming lips and many others all great music on tv small world I'd say

  20. T.... C....

    Thank you Brett George for the introduction

  21. P.... T....

    5:20 to the end makes me need a cigarette... probably thanks to this song and golden that puts this album in my top 3 of all time.

  22. J.... B....

    It's special because it doesn't care about being commercial. At the same time it feels the love of beautiful things.🤔

  23. K.... S....

    This was the song to my love and my heart. The feeling it gives me I thank God for.

  24. Y.... S....

    That’s my shit

  25. R.... V....

  36. S.... O....

    I will dance to this at my wedding

    S.... O....

    Sarah Outly When are we getting married?

  37. x.... ....

    people shouldn't portray this as sad it's beautiful more about enjoying life to the fullest but not making the moment last too long so it can't be ruined, reminisce on your past and make a better future

    x.... ....

    why don't attach some of your bullshit to the song. it can stimulate any emotion you bring to it.

    x.... ....

    Cute, but I've already proved my point later ✌

    x.... ....

    @xVisionary by the way your futurelooks very bleak

    x.... ....

    Really you think so? I'm actually a successful youtuber this isn't my main account of course but okay be sure to keep yourself posted on me glad you're so interested 🙄

  38. R.... l....

    Oh Yeah! Not just excellent melody and lyrics, but love the reverb too!!!

  39. d.... r....

    d.... r....

    +dave rumbear melt in the couch if you know what i mean

  40. U.... C....

    if you don't like this, your silly my friend

  41. H.... L....

    literally the best song to listen to when you're sad

  42. q.... m....

    This will forever be one of my favorite songs.

  43. M.... N....

    great song for the mmj lovers... please love your lover

    M.... N....

    the fuck does that mean

  44. M.... ....

    This song helps me not dwell in the sadness of the past. Whenever I get a really sad thought I just don't make it last any longer than it has to.

    M.... ....

    ew goodbye this is not for you this is transcendence jim james is a about life fuck outta here simple minded human

    M.... ....

    as nodt youre an ignorant mess you should probably stop being an elitist piece of shit before you lose all your friends

    M.... ....

    As Nodt what did he say that was so bad? He said the song helps him not be sad....if so isn't that a part of transcendence?
    .....also that hateful speech you used definitely is not transcendental.
    So let's chill and enjoy this fine music.

    M.... ....

    That's really cool

  45. c.... f....

    His voice is so awesome!!!

  46. R.... ....

  68. G.... F....

    Best not to listen to close to the words... Great flow and feeling though. 

  69. I.... M....

    Just One Thing, I Will Sing You Songs 

  70. C.... R....

    i love the ending passed the original song

  71. E.... K....

    American dad !

  72. u.... i....

    so what he's saying is he'll tell you everything you want to hear but won't make it last forever. The feeling will always be there but not to make it last longer than it has to. he wants something short. right?

    u.... i....

    right on! there's many different perceptions available to these words, but I', almost positive that's what he's saying.

    u.... i....

    to me, there are two parts to this song - the music and the words, and the song on a whole is about love. the words describe the material aspects of love- i'll provide for you, we'll get married, etc.  however, that's not the focus, so that part is relatively small in the song.  the music however, the music is the interpretation of that feeling of love itself.  that feeling that words can't really describe that encompasses everything from peaceful harmony to overflowing with blissful energy. in a relationship, the physical aspects are just byproducts. its that unexplainably beautiful feeling between two people that is the heart of their connection to each other, and I feel the music in this song captures that feeling so perfectly. don't make the words last any longer than they have to, just feel. that is all.

    u.... i....

    @Stormride008 beautiful, i reposted this.

    u.... i....

    @Stormride008 Love is bullshit tho. might be about affection.

    u.... i....

    um idctbh don't spend too much time trying to understand the true message. Basically what it's saying is "be thankful for what you have, don't dwell on the negative parts of the past, look on to the glorious future, all while living in the now. "

  73. E.... K....

    Anyone else see the wolf on the chest of the bear?

  98. P.... ....

    MMJ are such a calming band, I can listen to this song whenever I'm angry and it will chill me out, I also listen to it when I play games such as Borderlands 2 because it allows my anger to disappear. For that I am thankful of Jim and the rest of the group. You have helped many people with all your songs. I hope you keep going until the end of time. When I have kids I will definitely introduce them to MMJ and hope they will like them.

    P.... ....

    What. He. Said. 👆🏻

  99. J.... ....

    Just close yours eyes and drift away ....
