The Girl
You know I have this feeling you're not like the other
ones, don't ask me why...I want to take you in my arms
and hold you till it passes, as you cry...
Don't really know what's good for you but all that I can
do is truly try...
But at the end of promises and moments, there is always
goodbye...
There is always goodbye...
And every night I dream of you, I hold your hand in
mine...
An underlying need to fill the emptiness inside...
And if you were here with me now, I'd stop the hands of
time...
This night would last forever and, we'd never say
goodbye...
Goodbye...
Enough of solitude tonight,
This time is ours and
The light, has burned away from the skies...
From the skies...
We are not who we used to be,
This time is ours, we are free...
But I see goodbye, in your eyes...
Goodbye, in your eyes...
