Once upon a time when we were friends I gave you my heart, the story ends No happy ever after now we're friends Wish upon a star if that might help The stars collide if you decide Wish upon a star if that might help What's it like to have loved and to lose her touch? What's it like to have loved and to lose that much? Well, I hope and I pray that maybe someday You'll walk in the room with my heart Add and subtract but as a matter of fact Now that you're gone I still want you back Remembering surrendering Remembering that part, all of my heart Spilling up in silk and coffee lace You hook me up a rendez-vous at your place Your lipstick and your lip gloss seals my fate Sentimental powers might help you now But skip the hearts and flowers, skip the ivory towers You'll be disappointed and I'll lose a friend No, I won't be told there's a crock of gold at the end of the rainbow Or that pleasure and pain Sunshine and rain might make this love grow But I hope and I pray that maybe someday You'll walk in the room with my heart Add and subtract but as a matter of fact Now that you're gone I still want you back Remembering, surrendering The kindest cuts the cruelest part, all of my heart Yes, I hope and I pray that maybe someday You'll walk in the room with my heart And I shrug and I say that maybe today you'll come home soon Surrendering, remembering Surrendering that heart, all of my heart All of my heart
