I see you smile in the moonlight
I feel your hand reach out for mine
I even smell the sea when I hold you close to me
But it's a memory that's faded over time
Often I think it might be better
To give up on this dream and chase you down
I work out all the angles but forget the central truth
And remember that you don't want me around
Well it's been too many years and I still can't let you go
That surely must say something - what it does I just don't know
And though I hate to hang my head and mope and pout
I don't know where you hit me but you sure did knock me out
It feels like a lifetime since I've looked into your eyes
I wonder what they've seen since I've seen you
Something tells me that they haven't seen enough to change your mind about
This world that keeps you down and feeling blue
Oh and the stars have scarcely moved
From where they sat when I sat watching them with you
Oh you've gone so far away
And I don't think I'll be seeing you today
Well it's been too many years and I still can't let you go
That surely must say something - what it does I just don't know
And though I hate to hang my head and mope and pout
I don't know where you hit me but you sure did knock me out
