What Say You Meg? lyrics
by Sting
[ARTHUR MILLBURN]
Some men will search for paradise
Some place that's never quite precise
Some world beyond just 'round the bend
Where lost horizons have no end
But heaven's here, right on this ground
It's real, it's solid, once it's found
It's no elusive pirate's gold
Some fairy's story told
It's here, it's now, it's in this place
It's as if I always knew
When the face I always conjured up
Was no one else but you
What say you Meg?
How's this story shaping
I want you Meg
By my side
What's the use Meg
To gaze at a view on your own
For richer, for poorer
In sickness and health
I will see this through Meg
No chance of this ending
Such a view Meg
As we gaze
From our house on the hill
To love and to cherish
To have and to hold
I'm a hard man to beat
If I may be so bold
And I promise it all by the sweat of my brow
Tell me what say you Meg now?
(spoken)
I've asked you this before
And so I'm asking again
(sung)
What say you Meg?
What's this story's ending
I want you Meg
We can gaze from our house on the hill
For richer, for poorer
In sickness and health
I'd be hard to replace, if I say so myself
And I promise it all by the sweat of my brow
Tell me what say you Meg now?
