Lyrics
The way he made me feel when standing close to him
He was the everything I thought I ever wanted
Now I find that we are worlds apart and there's an empty heart where love once grew
How can I tell him I don't love him anymore
Should I just walk away and say this love affair is over.
I look into his eyes and see a stranger there
The pain is hard to bear when all is just pretending
Once we laughed as children do at play It feels like yesterday was long ago
If I should tell him I don't love him anymore how will I ever know if there will be a bright tomorrow
I lie awake each night and play at counting sheep I find it hard to sleep and sometimes wake up crying From my heart I would give anything to mend loves broken wing and fly away.
