So graceful and pure, a smile bathed in light No matter the distance, a miracle of sight Though I should have known, I could not turn away When faced with your beauty no reason can stay As you kiss him in the moonlight With heavy words I say If you love someone, follow your heart 'Cause love comes once if you're lucky enough Though I'll miss you forever, the hurt will run deep Only love can set you free Trust in your dreams, run with no fear And if you should stumble remember I'm near As a ghost I will walk, I'll look deep in my soul I might find another, you gave me that hope So as you kiss him in the moonlight With heavy words I say If you love someone, follow your heart 'Cause love comes once if you're lucky enough Though I'll miss you forever and the hurt will run deep Only love can set you free And if you love someone, follow your heart 'Cause love comes once if you're lucky enough Though I'll miss you forever, the hurt will run deep Love will set you free
