I lie awake and feel your nearness I never wanted more…
“I lie awake and feel your nearness I never wanted more than this I don't wanna run Beneath your tears I don't wanna catch them When they're falling But it's the same old song playin' over and over Now I lie upon my face and though we tried I guess that's the way it's supposed to be Don't say goodbye say goodnight So it's not over And if you try and answer why It's just over, it's goodbye I hope to see the dawn of daybreak And the sun rise to cloudless skies And now I've tried to see the truth But I close my eyes And you were there for me And I was there for you Don't say goodbye say goodnight So it's not over And if you try and answer why And it's just over, it's goodbye But now I lie upon my face and though we tried I guess that's the way it's supposed to be Don't say goodbye say goodnight So it's not over And if you try and answer why And it's just over, it's goodbye It's goodbye It's goodbye It's goodbye”
