I’ve known you for so long,
And we’ve always been close,
But something has gone wrong,
For now you say you’re leaving.
Now you’re the only one
With whom I’ve shared my dreams,
But now that you are gone,
They’re all shattered to pieces.
Although you’ve gone away,
You know that I will love you.
Forever and a day,
That’s how long I’ll be true.
The feeling here is wrong
As I lay here without you.
I hear a sad, sad song
And inside I feel empty.
Although you now are gone,
I still can feel the longing.
I’ve loved you for so long,
And your love won’t release me.
Although you’ve gone away,
My heart still won’t release you.
Until my dying day,
I swear that I’ll love you.
