Lyrics

I thought I felt you brushing by me on the street
I turned around, turned around to see
I hear your voice inside when I begin to speak
And it sounds, and it sounds so sweet

Now the world is filled with emptiness and madness
Lonely hearts, beds and after sex sadness
And without you I try to hold on, hold on, hold on

It was the best of times
I wish someone had told me
It was the best of times
When you were there beside me
Though I hope, though I hope, I know
Those times are gone

I worry 'bout you like you were a part of me
Though you're gone, I feel the need
I feel your body turn when I wake from a dream
And without you I get no sleep

And all the wealth, fame and glamorous existence
Could never replace having you here with me
And without you I hold on, hold on, hold on

It was the best of times
I wish someone had told me
It was the best of times
When you were there beside me
Though I hope, though I hope, I know
Those times are gone

It's a fool's game, it's a dark place
When you always want a new face around
If you find someone with unconditional love
Hold on, hold on, hold on

It was the best of times
I wish someone had told me
It was the best of times
When you were there beside me
Though I hope, though I hope, I know
Those times are gone
