Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I stumble in the night Never really knew what it would've been like You're no longer there to break my fall The heartache over you I'd give it everything but I couldn't live through I never saw the signs You're the last to know when love is blind All the tears and the turbulent years When I would not wait for no-one Didn't stop and take a look at myself And see me losing you When the lonely heart breaks It's the one that forsakes It's the dream that we stole And I'm missing you more Than the fire that will roar There's a hole in my soul For you it's goodbye For me it's to cry For whom the bell tolls Seen you in a magazine A picture at a party where you shouldn't have been Hanging on the arm of someone else I'm still in love with you Won't you come back to your little boy blue I've come to feel inside This precious love was never mine Now I know but a little too late That I could not live without you In the dark or the broad daylight I promise I'll be there When the lonely heart breaks It's the one that forsakes It's the dream that we stole And I'm missing you more Than the fire that will roar There's a hole in my soul For you it's goodbye For me it's to cry For whom the bell tolls Now I know there'll be times like this When I couldn't reach out to no-one Am I never gonna find someone Who knows me like you do Are you leaving me a helpless child When it took so long to save me Fight the devil and the deep blue sea I'll follow you anywhere I promise I'll be there When the lonely heart breaks It's the one that forsakes It's the dream that we stole And I'm missing you more Than the fire that will roar There's a hole in my soul For you it's goodbye For me it's to cry For whom the bell tolls
