[Intro - muted instrumental] I tried so hard to share my love with you, To make you see the dream I saw so clear, Yet you could not believe my words were true, Could not let go of your consuming fear. I waited hoping for some subtle change, Ignoring every sign it would not come, Until the dream was clearly out of range, And hope, an evanescent shadow, gone. [Brief instrumental interlude] [Bridge - Breathy, intimate] The emptiness I feel knows no regret, So do not weep for me, sweetest of friends, Each fleeting moment shared I'll not forget, I know what love is now, and how it ends. [Outro - close mic, breathy, almost whispered] The love I felt will live while I take breath, The dream I'll carry with me to my death.
