Lyrics
My mistake
wasn't whether to forgive you
but thinking that I could live without you
You tried to stay
The farther I pushed you away
The harder you pushed back to stay
But I was blind
to a real love
in search of a dream
Foolish, I was
but now I know
what love really means
Trifle not with a kiss
Stars like ours rarely cross again
for life is short and
You and I
may love madly for a day
but better madly for just one day
than never to have loved at all
My heartache
is tempered by the knowledge of
The taste, the joy, the pain of love
and I,
will never be the same
There's no good or bad, no right or wrong
This melody will linger on
And time will pass
and we'll realize that our love
was never meant to last
Seal that chapter with a kiss
Fondly reminisce
And know that this time will never come again
Trifle not with a kiss
Stars like ours rarely cross again
for life is short and
you and I
may love madly for a day
but better madly for just one day
than never to have loved at all
