The Thrill of a Lifetime

You were the thrill of a lifetime
Total devotion hard to find
Passion consuming all my mind
You were all mine, you were all mine


Often I feel as though you're near
A phantom clue that you were here
Shadow of something in my mirror
Brings up a tear, brings up a tear


Do you watch me from where you are?
Although heaven is really far
Wishing for you upon a star
Falling apart, falling apart


My heart misses you more each day
Terrible pain won't go away
I see you here as clear as day
Take me away, take me away



Form: Monotetra
