While You Are Still Mine
I’m living in a world of dreams
A world of fantasy
For all the love you gave
I know, was never meant for me
We lived such different lives
We live a thousand miles apart
But I can’t stop the love I feel
For you…deep in my heart
Everyday I wake and wish
I didn’t feel like this
Everyday I wake and wish
It wasn’t you I miss
Every night I go to sleep
And dream of you and I
But when I face reality
I know I live a lie
I'm reaching for a love
That slips right through my hands
Loving you in silence
Was never in my plans
Maybe in another life
We may have found our way
But right here, right now
I know we cannot stay
So I'll hold you in my heart
Till you're a fading memory
A beautiful kind of love…
That was just not meant to be
I know I can’t hold onto you
I have to let you go
And knowing this, is hurting
More than you will ever know
But while you are still mine
I will try to smile, not cry
And treasure every moment
Till it’s time to say goodbye..
