Lyrics
When I told him to wait for a while to see
If the love felt in his heart still grew for me
He stopped and pulled me close
Whispering that he knows
From his head to his toes
He was meant for me
But I said not here, not now
How could he be so quick to forget his place?
He promised her much the same, in her embrace
Seems he forgot his vow, holding me oh so tight
That it seemed almost right, to be free somehow
But I said not here, not now
Not here, not now
It cannot be
You are not free
I asked the heavens up above, "Why me?
Why won't you listen to my plea?
How can it torture me like this?
I can't stop dreaming of his kiss!"
I think about him night and day
My secret prayer, he'll come to stay
What if I hadn't turned away?
Then he might be here still today
I asked the heavens up above, "Why me?
Why won't you listen to my plea?
How can it torture me like this?
I can't stop dreaming of his kiss!"
I think about him night and day
My secret prayer, he'll come to stay
What if I hadn't turned away?
Then he might be
Here still today!
