Lyrics
You’re not a dream
You’re not an angel
You’re a woman
I’m not a king,
I’m a man,
Take my hand
We’ll make a space
In the lives that we planned
And here we’ll stay
Until it’s time for you to go
Yes, we’re diff’rent worlds apart
We’re not the same
We laughed and played
At the start like in a game
You could have stayed
Outside my heart
But in you came
And here you’ll stay
Until it’s time for you to go
Don’t ask why,
Don’t ask how
Don’t ask forever,
Love me now
This love of mine
Had no beginning
It has no end
I was an oak,
Now I’m a willow
Now I can bend
And tho’ I’ll never
In my life see you again
I still stay
Until it’s time for you to go
