I really don't know if I'll ever really learn
That love is a fire that warms the heart inside, but it can also burn
Guess it's just my time to learn, step out the giant shadow
That our love once cast, right now I'm feeling it
But in time as the saying goes, this hurt too shall pass
The darkest night turns into day usually
And oh how we curl up and mourn in tears
When love is taken away, I must get out in the world again
To find some happy moments that will last
For I really believe inside myself starting today
That this hurt too shall pass

Love was a special place for us
It really had me dreaming
While you were pretending to be in love with me
There was no chance at all that this story would end with
A happy meaning,
I was walking in a fog and truth be known you never cared at all Questions of why I loved you like I did people posed
Now in the silence I have sought out the reasons on my own
No one could have loved you more

Your goodbye will leave me with eyes that cry
Why do you have to go away, why can't you just stay
Leaving me all by myself
Don't you know by now that I don't want anybody else
You're taking all my dreams and silent prayers away
Please tell my crying heart, why can't you just stay
Love is a roll of the dice not a game lovers play
Honor the gift and better treat it right, or the chance will
Slowly fade away, I wanted one last try , one last time
But this really looks like your last goodbye

Somewhere in my future, I want you there with me
Holding on so tight, naturally thrilling me
I see the vision of kissing such tender lips
A picture of love oh so sweet and so very fine
My heart flies around inside my chest
Because it's mine all mine
I was lonely and sad not so very long ago
You came ever so softly into my life one day and my every need
You seemed to know,
I know that I should have asked you to take it slow
For I've learned over the years that memories often come
And than quickly tend to go
But special moments last inside always
And their impression leaves behind a lasting glow

When love comes around again
I want to really make it last
And I resolve inside that I won't  make the same mistakes
And spoil my new happiness with the faultlines  of the past
Being hurt by love at any time is just to hard to  mention
But experience has taught me well and when the chance comes
Around again, my changes will be known for that's my intention
And at last, I'll find a new beginning with someone I can trust
And hold out my heart like a cup
To let my new love fill it up

Somebody please stop the sky from falling down on me
I've got tears in my eyes  and can't really see
Since you went away there isn't much to do or really say
Happiness just melted into the mist on that very sad and dreary day
Don't really have the will to get up or go on my friend
Since you've been gone

I want to love you for the next 100 years
Until than we'll remain young and silly thinking
Of far away places and things we have yet to see
