The thrill of a new love has faded away Mistaken, wakened am I Wanting you near me, sincerely I say Forgive, forget, won't you try I had you, I held you, you gave me your all Your love dreams I shattered beyond recall Now that I've lost you, please understand I'm here forever at your command I realize, now that I've lost my prize Tell me how can I live this way? Foolish conceit, at my heart, it would beat And to think that my heart would obey I want you, and I need you, more than you know I worship your love, dear, wherever you go Once more to have you, love would be grand To live forever at your command I realize, now that I've lost my prize Tell me how can I live this way? Foolish conceit, at my heart, it would beat And to think that my heart would obey I want you, and I need you, more than you know Whatever, don't ever tell me to go Once more to have you, love would be grand To live forever at your command
