Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Love was young We saw beyond a sky that had no limits Much higher than the highest star Beyond the furthest planet We thought that we could change the world And everything in it But time ran out of endless hours Gave into doubt, were we just playing an endless game That no one ever wins If I could run away Hide away Forget the way feel But your memory keeps haunting me Convincing me it's real Now you're not here Now you're not here Love and hate Left up to fate A life we took for granted We couldn't stop our running from the things we always wanted No long goodbyes No tears to cry And nothing to believe in But now you're gone We'll never know a love that's grown Time took away All that it gave to the two of us If I could run away Hide away Forget the way I feel But your memory keeps haunting me Convincing me it's real Now you're not here Now you're not here When our hearts were young and nights were long We'd let the morning sun kiss our eyes open Precious dreams that we had now they are dead and gone The promises we made have all been broken If I could run away Hide away Forget the way I feel But your memory keeps haunting me Convincing me it's real Now you're not here Now you're not here In my arms In my life Lovin' you, is just a memory Now you're not here Now you're not here With me now, in my arms, in my mind, in my life
