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
