Friends say I'll get over you soon Thoughts of you come back to fill me with gloom Time forgets but I'm not over you yet There's no sense of asking why Until the tears run dry There's no one but you on my mind Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never find If we could make it work this time Years have flown by since you've been gone This broken heart of mine's been waiting too long All alone without you I can't carry on There's no sense of asking why Until I'm there by your side There's no one but you on my mind Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never find If we could make it work this time We could plant tomorrow's dreams now together In a garden to last forever more All the flowers would grow From the seeds we'd sow... There's no one but you on my mind Searching for a perfect ending that we'll never find If we could make it work this time There's no sense of asking why Until the tears run dry I could be there by your side If you would only change your mind If we could make it work this time
