there was a day not so long ago
when i could not wait to tell you
that i was yours
still and again and again
always
now i long for you
fear you
dream of you
wonder why i could still love you

there was a day, yesterday you know
when i could not bear to tell you
that i did not know
anything and over and over
how long
now i long for you
fear you
dream of you
wonder why i should still love you

this is a day when i have to go
when i don't know how to tell you
that i might be yours
again and still and still
trustless
now i long for you
fear you
dream of you
wonder why i can still love you

this is a day when words fail
