Lyrics
When I opened your letter yesterday
I could not believe my eyes
'Cos I've already given all I have to give
And I think it must have slipped your mind
But I remember not so long ago
I gave it all, it's gone
And I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine

Oh, d'you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do.
No I cannot believe it's you, really you

Oh these people I'm talking to don't understand
They don't seem to realize
They're listening but they're not hearing me
They're being too cruel to be kind
Any kind of feeling that I had is gone
'Cos I gave it all, it's gone
And I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine

Oh, d'you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do.
No I cannot believe it's you, really you

Over and over I keep on telling myself
Over and over I hope I'm gonna make up
Over and over I know it's really happening
And there's nothing that I can say
'Cos nothing can change all the things that you've done to me
Nothing can make me stay

Oh, 'cos you know I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe it's you, really you

I know it's a crying shame, it's all the same to you
It seems all so well laid out but I cannot get through
Never meant it to show
It started happening, that's all you know.

Oh, I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine

Oh, d'you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe it's you, really you

Over and over I keep on telling myself
Over and over I Hope I'm gonna make up
But over and over I know it's really happening
And there's nothing that I can say
'Cos nothing can change all the things that you do to me
Nothing can make me stay

'Cos you know I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do
No I cannot believe it's you, really you

Grande Phil Collins anno 82 ....❤stupendo sound...😊

[Nina_realismo]

Muito feliz de ver muitos brasileiros que vieram curtir esse classico! Essa musica levanta o humor até no dia mais frio e chuvoso !!!Uma pena nao poder ter visto essa performance ao vivo ou ter ido à um show dele! amo quando ele coloca essas mini cançoes que quebra a melodia original! Essa e a da One more night sao sublimes!

I just had an infant loss in feb 9 2024, my world seems to falling apart, not willing to do anything and today my dad try to cheer me up with his all time fav song, and somehow I am smiling again😊

[alinealves]

This music is so beautiful
Thank you Phil, i love you!!

[syfdnt]

my dad introduced me to Phil Collins when i was 4 years old in 2001, and 20 years later i’m still loving his songs and remember my dad through it. 💙

[dhegenk]

One of my late dad's favourite song. Thanks Sir Phil for the song!

[jorgecampelo]

Um verdadeiro clássico!!! Não sei definir o que é melhor nessa música, pois ela tem o combo completo: interpretação, arranjo, instrumentistas, melodia…. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[thenomadicpen]

Phil's drumming on this song is legend. That opening fill for starters is madness, then all the stabs and accents with the horns. But for me the best part of the drums in this song is the bit @3:17 where he plays the coolest change up in the pattern. If you're a drummer you know how cool this is. Phil was the Kid on the Kit.

[scottnever]

many people do 1 thing very well, not many people do very many things awesomely, Phil Collins may well be the most talented man ever

[nataliarocha]

Essa música é contagiante, deixa a gente com o astral lá em cima, sou viciada nela.

[waldirmeiguins]

TECLADISTA, BATERISTA, VOCALISTA, COMPOSITOR, MAESTRO E SOBRETUDO MUITO TALENTOSO!

[vazoumanadosso]

Thank you, Sir Phil Collins. Best music !

LYRICS (YEAR 1982):

When I opened your letter yesterday
I could not believe my eyes
'Cause I've already given all I have to give
And I think it must have slipped your mind
But I remember not so long ago
I gave it all, it's gone and I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine
Oh do you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do?
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
Oh these people I'm talking to don't understand
Don't seem to realize
They're listening but they're not hearing me
They're being too cruel to be kind
Any kind of feeling that I had is gone
'Cause I gave it all, it's gone and I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine
Oh do you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do?
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
Over and over
I keep on telling myself
Over and over
I hope I'm gonna wake up
Over and over
I know it's really happening
And there's nothing that I can say
'Cos nothing can change all the things that you've done to me
Nothing can make me stay
Oh 'cause you know I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do?
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
I know it's a crying shame, it's all the same to you
It seems all so well laid out but I cannot get through
Never meant it to show
It started happening, that's all you know
Oh I gave it all to you
Now I'm living on borrowed time, but it's mine
Oh do you hear me?
I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do?
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
Over and over
I keep on telling myself
Over and over
I hope I'm gonna wake up
Over and over
I know it's really happening
And there's nothing that I can say
'Cos nothing can change all the things that you've done to me
Nothing can make me stay
'Cause you know I cannot believe it's true
Are you really doing the things you do?
No I cannot believe it's you, really you
