love makes the world go round

The first time that I saw you I knew you were the one for me,
And yet I knew deep in my heart that this could never be,
I worshipped every part of you, your face, your smile, your touch
But I could never let you know that I wanted you so much.
I couldn’t bear the pain inside and feared your rejection,
I knew that you could not love me, you just saw my imperfection,
Then one day you your turned your head to glance
And for a single moment I thought there was a chance.
Oh what sort of fool was I to think this could be
To imagine for a moment that you could love some one like me.
And yet at night I’d close my eyes and hold you in my heart
And I would hope against all hope that we would never part.
I gave you everything I could and then one day awoke
To be told that all I was to you was just one great big joke.
You were always in my thoughts, and forever in my heart
Your voice was always in my head although we were apart.
I’d hold you in my arms at night and kiss your gentle face,
But when I woke at morning time of you there’d be no trace.
You were with another and getting on with life
I married another and you got yourself a wife.
My love for you has never died it stays here in my heart,
And it is because of this that we must stay apart.
There’s nothing left to give to you that you would want from me
So the only thing that I can do for you is at last let you be free.
