Eavesdrop Lyrics

[Verse 1: Joy Williams]
I don’t want to talk right now
I just want your arms wrapped around
Me in this moment before it runs out


[Pre-Chrous: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Oh, don’t say that it’s over
Oh, no, say it ain't so


[Chorus: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Let’s let the stars watch, let them stare
Let the wind eavesdrop, I don’t care

For all that we’ve got, don’t let go
Just hold me


[Verse 2: John Paul White with Joy Williams]
I can’t pull you closer than this
It’s just you and the moon on my skin
Oh, who says it ever has to end?

[Pre-Chrous: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Oh, don’t say that it’s over
Oh, no, say it ain't so


[Pre-Chrous: Joy Williams & John Paul White]
Oh, don’t say that it’s over
Oh, no, say it ain't so

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
