Once I Called You

Once I called you friend Though I've tried, I cannot get it back again Too much damage, too much pain Too much love still remains Once I called you love And believed in dreams sent from above But when the push came to shove You broke the sacred vow: trust Once I called you mine And together, the words would rhyme But the dreams were given up in time And I am now the last one in your line Once I called you special Kept secrets I'll never tell Picked you up when you fell But you never knew me very well Once I called you, once you answered Once you called me, once we shared Now I call you, through the darkness I look but can't find you anywhere The memories still exist Somewhere in time and space Taking me through the past And feelings I can never replace Once I called you friend I'd like to have that back again Once I called you love I'd like to find that trust Once I called you special But there are secrets I cannot tell Once I called you mine But that's been lost in time Once I called you friend Though I've tried, I cannot get it back again Too much damage, too much pain Too much love still remains But once I called you...
