...Can it be that it was all so simple then
|
Or has time rewritten every line?
|
If we had the chance to do it all again,
|
Tell me, would we,
|
Could we...
|
|
Where do you start?
|
How do you separate the present from the past?
|
How do you deal with all the things you thought would last
|
That didn't last?
|
With bits of mem'ries scattered here and there,
|
I look around and don't know where to start
|
|
Which books are yours?
|
Which tapes and dreams belong to you and which are mine?
|
Our lives are tangled like the branches of a vine
|
That intertwine
|
So many habits that we'll have to break
|
And yesterdays we'll have to take apart
|
|
One day, there'll be a song
|
Or something in the air again
|
To catch me by surprise
|
And you'll be there again
|
A moment in -
|
What might have been....
|
|
Where do you start?
|
Do you allow yourself a little time to cry,
|
Or do you close your eyes and kiss it all goodbye?
|
I guess you try
|
And though I don't know where and don't know when
|
I'll find myself in love again
|
I promise there will always be
|
A little place no one will see:
|
A tiny part deep in my heart
|
That stays in love with you
|
