"Our Last Valentines"
Of course we have our differences
You shouldn't be surprised.
It's as natural as changes
In the seasons and the skies.

Sometimes we grew together,
Sometimes we drifted apart.
A wiser man than I might know
The seasons of the heart.

And I'm laying here beside you
In the early evening chill.
A thing we've always loved to do
And I know we always will.


We had so much in common
So many things we shared.
That I can't believe my heart
When it implies that you're not there.

Love is why I came here in the first place.
Love is now the reason I must go.
Love is all I ever hoped to find here.
Love is still the only dream I know.

So I don't know how to tell you
It's difficult to say.
I never in my wildest dreams
Imagined it this way.

But sometimes I just don't know you.
There's a stranger in our home.
When I'm lying right beside you
Is when I'm most alone.

And I think my heart is broken
There's an emptiness inside.
So many things I've longed for
Have so often been denied.

Still, I won't try to change you
There's no one that's to blame.
It's just some things that mean so much
And we just don't feel the same.

Love is why I came here in the first place.
Love is now the reason I must go.
Love is all I ever hoped to find here.
Love is still the only dream I know.

True love is still the only dream I know.
