Through the glass I can see your eyes
Laughing with a friend
The candlelight and the bottle of wine
Are doing a slow dance
I can see his smile, I can feel his charm
Softly melt your soul
I wonder how he could get this far
And this close to having it all
So, here's to every "I love you,
I'll always care, my dear"
I lean in tight, whisper: "Good night!
Can I touch you? You are so very near!"
These words I will never hear
It's been a while since I made you smile
Ah, it seems much too long
Feels like forever since we were together
You left and then you were gone
It's quiet now, but I hear the sound
Of screaming in my head
And I realize oh, I must be crying
As your dance comes to an end
So, here's to every "I love you,
I will always care, my dear"
I lean in tight and whisper: "Good night!
Can I kiss you? You are so very near!"
These words I will never hear
