The Music To Keep
I heard a song within me
Was it my heart who sings our song?
And as I listen to the melody,
I can't make myself asleep 'til dawn.
My soul started to sing
And my mind begins to think again,
Trying to remember the times when we're together,
The times when we're not friends, but lovers.
Does anyone hear the music?
Do you ever care for the lonely beat?
As the music plays over and over,
Well... it's you I always remember.
The tears started to fall like rain into the river,
For the thought that we can't be together forever.
I'm not a perfect person, I know.
And in committing mistakes, I always fall.
Loneliness?
Oh, it always comes,
Specially now, that you were gone.
Couldn't be just you and me
And build our dreams to reality?
But then, it's time for you to say goodbye.
I know I've LIVED, LOVED, LOST and DIE.
Our song comes to an end
But, somehow, I hope that my heart will mend.
Even if I know that we can't be together again:
This music in my heart will keep on playing the refrain.
