When could I say that I believed
I was such a treasured soul
To give up the life you've conceived
for a chance at half not whole

Having tasted the nectar of life
who can say they would pass it on
For years full of trouble and strife
filled with all of what was, now gone

Life wasn’t meant to cost so much
that you pay for your love in years
I couldn't bear it to be such
that I cost you a life of tears

Many a night I looked up in awe
to the sweet sky above my head
Longing to be that star you saw
to hear the wistful things you said

So now I lie in wait for dawn
watching the stars all twinkle out
Dreaming of things that were, now gone
we never thought we’d live without
