lyrics
There's a twinkle in your eye
As I lean in for a kiss under the pale moonlight
And we dance and sway to one last song
For one last time before you're gone
"Please don't leave" I say, "just take my hand"
You hold your love, you don't want me to understand
The soul of you, and all that's true, your endless blue
A starry night I still wish upon
So long after you've gone
In this place, our two souls born anew
And I'll be waiting there for you
Though the dream will always turn
Awake and wandering in the haze of what should have been
Of shaken faith, broken vows
No hand to hold when the lights go out
Through endless blue and endless grey
The endless tides that swept both of us away
No last goodbyes or warm embrace
You left me alone…
A dying star barely hanging on
Long, long after you've gone
But in my dreams, you return to me
Tell me you love me still
And I'll be waiting there for you
I'll be waiting there for you
Will you be waiting for me too?
Tonight the stars will shine high above
As I dream of you my love
And we will dance and you'll hold me close
One body and one lost soul
And long after you've gone
In my dreams, will you return to me?
And tell me you love me still?
And I'll be waiting there for you
I'll be waiting there for you
Will you be waiting for me too?
As I lean in for a kiss under the pale moonlight
And we dance and sway to one last song
For one last time before you're gone
"Please don't leave" I say, "just take my hand"
You hold your love, you don't want me to understand
The soul of you, and all that's true, your endless blue
A starry night I still wish upon
So long after you've gone
In this place, our two souls born anew
And I'll be waiting there for you
Though the dream will always turn
Awake and wandering in the haze of what should have been
Of shaken faith, broken vows
No hand to hold when the lights go out
Through endless blue and endless grey
The endless tides that swept both of us away
No last goodbyes or warm embrace
You left me alone…
A dying star barely hanging on
Long, long after you've gone
But in my dreams, you return to me
Tell me you love me still
And I'll be waiting there for you
I'll be waiting there for you
Will you be waiting for me too?
Tonight the stars will shine high above
As I dream of you my love
And we will dance and you'll hold me close
One body and one lost soul
And long after you've gone
In my dreams, will you return to me?
And tell me you love me still?
And I'll be waiting there for you
I'll be waiting there for you
Will you be waiting for me too?
