Love's got a lesson we seldom learn
A chance at pleasure can get you burned
A sacred gem in a golden setting
What's worth pursuing is worth the getting
Nothing seems to matter much
When you're longing to be touched
Face to face with denial
Warm in your dreams all the while...
Everyone thinks you're beautiful
Everyone except me
The hues of lies that bleed from your eyes
So condescending
But colors of love
Those I can't see
'Til someone like you paints them on me
Must achieve a gladness
Overthrow all of the sadness...
Tears flow down a river
I floated out of time
Flickering faces flash through my mind
Why can't I leave them all behind?
This fire burning in my heart
Will always keep you warm
A thousand dreams with you tonight
Everything and so much more...
