Well hey, I saw you just the other day
And I thought of you
But didn't know what to say.
Can you see I respect your point of view
And I've learned a lot
With all that we've been through.

Now you've told me
The dreams you've had in mind,
About the home you want and the love that you're hoping to find,
And I've tried so long to give you what you need
But the one you want is someone other than me.

But you see, I don't want to let you go
For instilled within my heart is your love I hold.
Can it be I would let you slip away
When from deep within my soul you're a part of me.

Now you say, "Life is seeming so unfair,"
And you've shown to me how very, very much you care.
But each day the thought is growing in your mind
That our life together maybe isn't worth a try.

But you say, "I don't want to let you go;
It's instilled within my heart that I love you so.
It's okay, I know it can never be,
But from deep within my soul you're a part of me."

(Bridge:)
I know that love survives beyond silence,
Love lives on beyond distance,
A flame of a dream coming true.
Believe our love survives beyond silence,
Love lives on beyond distance,
A flame of a dream coming true.
Why should love be lost for me and you?

Well, who says life should always fit a mold
Of a residence within a little suburb home?
Now my love for you will last until the end of days,
But who I am, it just won't allow me to stay.

Now I'm asking you, am I the one to fill your dreams?
And with all we know, it's something you won't likely believe.
But I'm telling you, never will I close the door
On a love we have, a love which I could never ignore.

For you see, I don't want to let you go
'Cause instilled within my heart is your love I hold.
Can it be I would let you slip away
When from deep within my soul you're a part of me.

And you say, "I don't want to let you go;
It's instilled within my heart that I love you so.
It's okay, I know it can never be,
But from deep within my soul you're a part of me."
