lyrics

seems like only yesterday
i had it all just figured out
i'd rest my head upon your shoulder
watch my hair grow thin and grey

today my tears for company
on a plane back to reality
will i forget our sail upon the thames
as i forget your maiden name?

the welcomes and words of fair well
you know i hate them too
even though it always hurt like hell
in between them there was you...

shall we admit our love was all in vain
have you burnt our souvenirs?
i know growing up is always painful
i was ready for your tears

The things i love the most just tend to die
Yet all will be forgotten when i’m gone...

still we were close baby you & me
and i still wish it could be
in that kingdom deep inside my dream
i was your king you're still my queen

I heard your dreams have left you all alone
To brave the darkness of your nights
i wish i was a knight in armor
this time baby i'd do it right

The things i love the most just tend to die
Yet all will be forgotten when i’m gone...

if i could be anyone else
i would have proudly sang this song to you
if it wasn’t for him
I know you could have easily talked me through this
i respected your wish
you wanted to be left on your own for a while
never saw that ‘while’ go by…
