Lyrics
Vs. 1
I CLING TO MY PILLOW AND WHISPER YOUR NAME
WHILE MIDNIGHT SHADOWS LINGER;
SURROUNDED BY MEMORIES OF A LOVE THAT IS GONE
LIKE SAND THAT HAS SLIPPED THROUGH MY FINGERS,
A DREAM THAT HAS FLED WITH THE DAWN.
Chorus:
OH, WHAT I'D GIVE FOR ANOTHER DAY,
ONE MORE KISS, ONE MORE NIGHT;
TO HEAR YOUR VOICE, TO TOUCH YOUR FACE,
FEEL YOUR WARM EMBRACE.
HOW CAN I SAY GOODBYE?
Vs. 2:
OH, HOW WILL I MANAGE TO GO ON ALONE,
MY HOPES AND DREAMS CRUELLY SHATTERED?
I LONG FOR THOSE GOLDEN DAYS WHEN OUR HEARTS BEAT AS ONE,
THE NIGHTS FILLED WITH LOVE AND LAUGHTER,
THE HOURS WHEN WE PLAYED IN THE SUN.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Bridge:
HOW EASILY WE PROMISED ON THAT SUMMER AFTERNOON
TO HAVE AND HOLD EACH OTHER FOREVER.
WE DIDN'T KNOW FOREVER WOULD END SO SOON,
DIDN'T KNOW THE LOVING WOULD BREAK MY HEART,
TEAR MY WORLD APART.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
