As each day goes by
As each hour passes
You can still remember
What you wanted to be
Who you wanted to be
Looking in the mirror
You see a face, a face
You do not recognise
An overpainted face
A face with years ingrained
Covering the face, the face
You think you remember.
The tides of life have
Ebbed and flowed,
Love has shown her face
Touched your heart
Oh and then departed.
You take another drink
The bottles empties
Midnight approaches
Another day is almost over.
It’s almost over but then
But then you slip into dreams
Into dreams of love
Even now, yes even now
To have your heart fly again
To share a life completely
Oh to know what love is.
