| Walking on water is easy loving you is not I want to tell you so with everything I've got (I need to) I touch you and the nights grow warm we live peaceful and life brings no harm (so blessed) As it approaches the dawn the gold morning crosses your face for just one instant, all hesitation is erased Your eyes flutter the words form inside you slowly awaken and again they hide We finally marry and years go by we have children everything is a lie Finally you approach death one last minute at hand you call me to your side away slips the sand Tell me you love me you finally manage to say but what do you tell a man on his dying day? As is approaches the dusk The sapphire evening crosses your face for just one instant, all hesitation is erased Your eyes flutter my words form inside you slowly slip away and again they hide I'm sorry I never said I love you -- But I didn't; it's better you never knew |
