When will I learn
That love can cause such pain?
Why am I always trying
To fall in love again?
When will I learn
My efforts are in vain?
Instead I’m always searching,
And crying in the rain.
Love for me has always been
A star up in the sky.
One that I could never reach,
Yet always caught my eye.
It’s always there beyond my grasp,
And even though I try,
I never can get hold of it,
So I just sit and cry.
Life without someone to share
Each night and every day
Has made me feel so empty, but
I’ve always felt that way.
I hope someday I’ll find someone
So I can truly say
That love has come into my life
And maybe it will stay.
