lyrics

Our time on Earth is fleeting
do our lives have deeper meaning
hereafter some still believe in
heaven or someplace hot

call it ego
or call it pride
nobody wants to be lost to time
we try to carve our names into stone
so future generations know

July comes after June
Night time comes after noon
the Love that I give is true
my monument to you

lives spent precisely planing
lack peace and understanding
the cycle that we're repeating
until our hearts stop their beating

some men think that self respect
come from towers that they erect
hoping some lasting fame
from buildings that bear their name

July comes after June
Night time comes after noon
the Love that I give is true
my monument to you

CN Tower or Empire State
The giant cities that man creates
the need to have the things we've done
be remembered by those to come

a perfect provincial palace
or a jewel encrusted challis
a clever idea or invention
that guarantees historic mention

try to keep life full of love
always give more than enough
you needn't worry about the how
if you live in the here and now

July comes after June
Night time comes after noon
the Love that I give is true
my monument to you
