In the evening, when the kettle's on for tea An old familiar feeling settles over me And it's your face I see And I believe that you are there In a garden, when I stop to touch a rose And feel the petals soft and sweet against my nose I smile and I suppose that somehow maybe you are there When I'm dreaming And I find myself awake Without a warning And I rub my eyes And fantasize And all at once I realize It's morning And my fantasy is fading Like a distant star at dawn My dearest dream is gone I often think There's just one thing to do Pretend the dream is true And tell myself that you are there

Are you there? Did patience wane? Did you fall asleep to your four-track recording of rain? Do you feel tame? Do you feel insane? Is there anyone in the audience currently living in vain? Hard times, old ways, takes up a lot of time Hard times, uses up whole days All those actresses leasing compact cars Boiling water at four in the morning In the outfield of Elysian Park Gone too soon to the void saloon All night, lighting wet cigarettes In a dog breath room Rough lovers in deserted hallways Crazed with unbuttoning Everything must go, button-wise Fumbling with keys to the door on the 94th floor Knees buckling in the threshold The world, open wide, open wide, and we just shiver On the counter, 'cause we're both already there Why don't you go put a record on? Why don't you sing me a little song? Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah Ah, ah, ah

I'm speaking from the heart, no shame Since you up and left it has never been the same Why would I lie, you never realize That when I'm in your presence you would give me butterflies Remember talking till 4 in the morning I would ask you if you're tired you said no with yawning The next day, same thing Oh why did you have to go away And I just thought that you should know You are always on my mind And I can never let you go, not even if I try I can fill the deepest valleys with all the tears I cry And I never wanna have to say (goodbye, goodbye) If you could see how my heart cries 'Cause I never wanna say goodbye I can't let go even if I try I don't wanna say (goodbye, goodbye) Baby girl if you're listening to this I made a little list with all the little things I miss Your long hair, beauty eyes, super model lips When you give my hand a squeeze every time that we kiss When we watching television Just a couple of the things I sit on reminiscing And I will start to cry every time that you will cross my mind And I just thought that you should know You are always on my mind And I can never let you go, not even if I try I can fill the deepest valleys with all the tears I cry And I never wanna have to say (goodbye, goodbye) If you could see how my heart cries 'Cause I never wanna say goodbye I can't let go even if I try I don't wanna say (goodbye, goodbye) And I just want another chance Forget about everything and just give me back romance I love the way you move, I love the way you walk The way your eyes close when you smile and you talk And just the thought of me without you drives me insane And It'll never be the same if I ever said (goodbye, goodbye) And I just thought that you should know You are always on my mind And I can never let you go, not even if I try I can fill the deepest valleys with all the tears I cry And I never wanna have to say (goodbye, goodbye) If you could see how my heart cries 'Cause I never wanna say goodbye I can't let go even if I try I don't wanna say (goodbye, goodbye)
