Seems like only yesterday.
You were standing close to me.
Talking 'bout the past and present
and the future that could be.
But that was oh so very, very long ago.
And how were we supposed to know?

I thought our love would never die.
It's sad to think that I was wrong.
But even dreams can't last forever,
and are forgotten come the dawn.
But that was oh so very, very long ago.
And how were we supposed to know?

It seems there's nothing I can do
except go on living without you.
But it's so hard to carry on,
and I can't wait until the dawn.

I thought our love would last a lifetime.
It's sad to know that I was right.
But I will weep for you no longer,
for we'll be together come the light.
But that was oh so very, very long ago.
And how were we supposed to know?
