Don't...
Don't close your heart to how you feel...
Dream...
And don't be afraid the dream's not real...
Close your eyes,
pretend it's just the two of us again...
Make believe this moment's here to stay...

Touch...
Touch me the way you used to do...
I know...
Tonight could be all I have with you...
From now on you'll be with someone else
instead of me...
So tonight...let's build this memory...
For the last time...

Hold me now
Don't cry
Don't say a word just...
Hold me now...
And I...will know though we're apart
We'll always be together
Forever in love...
What do you say when words are not enough?

Time...
Time will be kind once we're apart
And your tears...
Tears will have no place in your heart
I wish I...
I could say how much I'll miss you when you're gone
All my love for you will go on and on and...

Hold me now
Don't cry
Don't say a word just...
Hold me now...
And try...to understand that...
I hope that last you'll find
What you've been searching for
Though I won't be there anymore...
I will always...love you...

Hold me now
Don't cry
Don't say a word just...
Hold me now...
And I...will know though we're apart
We'll always be together
Forever inlove
What do you say when words are not enough?

What can I say now my words are not enough...?
