Great Big Elephant

I wish I were a great big elephant so you could ride away on me
I’d wrap you up with my grey trunk, forever hold your memory
You are beautiful, oh so beautiful to me
If I had to let go I guess that I could set you free

Let me be your beast of burden, I’ll stop all your hurt from hurting
I’d like to be large like a sea so you could pour your worries over me
You are beautiful, oh so beautiful to me
If I had to let go I guess that I could set you free
I guess that I could set you free

And if I were a great big elephant, inside my great big memory
I’d go back to the place where we met and hold you
if only in my dreams
You were beautiful, oh so beautiful to me
But I had to let go, yes I had to set you free …
But you will always be with me
