Author:

Description:
A slow love song
With lyrics - displayed by a karaoke MIDI player!
Sing along with the song! I recommend using van Basco's Karaoke Player.
(download from http://www.vanbasco.com/)

A calm mood, not quite as sad as the title implies. After all, the song
is about true love.


Details:
The lyrics are about love, parting and return home. In five verses, a short
tale is told. The chorus is a long one and is split into two parts.
It also changes with the tale: There is a chorus of departure, a chorus
of loneliness, and a chorus of return home.


--- Verse 1 ---
You are with me,
I can't believe my luck.
It's just you and me,
you take my breath away.

But I know
you have to leave.
You say that it won't be for
long.


--- Chorus (departure) ---
Why can't this moment
last forever,
why does it have to
stop right now?

I can't wait for
tomorrow to come
to see your bright, happy
face, my love!

Time to part now,
time to kiss now.
Time to say goodbye
and hold you tight.

The day will come
when I'll see you again.
I love you from the bottom of my
heart.


--- Verse 2 ---
The day we first met,
it seems like yesterday.
Each minute, evr'y hour,
it's right before my eyes.

That day went by
all too fast.
It was the start of our
love.


--- Chorus (departure) ---
Why can't this moment ...


--- Verse 3 ---
And now you're gone
so far away from home.
I'm all alone
with clouds in my eyes.

But I'll survive
without you here,
'cause I know that you feel all the
same.


--- Chorus (loneliness) ---
I keep this moment
right in my heart
so that it doesn't
stop anymore.

I can't wait for
tomorrow to come
to see your bright, happy
face, my love!

Time of waiting,
time of patience.
Time to think of you
so far away.

The day will come
when I'll see you again.
I love you from the bottom of my
heart.


--- Break ---
Time stops.
I remember how you walk,
how you smile and how you talk.

I miss
the feeling when we kiss,
the perfume in your hair,
your sweetness and your care.


--- Chorus (loneliness) ---
I keep this moment ...


--- Verse 4 ---
Time passes by,
oh, how I wish you near!
The phone rings. It's you!
You say you're coming soon.

I start counting
the hours, the days.
And I know that you're counting,
too.


--- Chorus (loneliness) ---
I keep this moment ...


--- Verse 5 ---
You're coming home,
you call out my name.
You fly into my arms,
we are united again.

Your lovely voice,
I can't believe my luck.
I see that you're crying of
joy!


--- Chorus (return home) ---
Let's make this moment
last forever!
Nothing in this world
can divide us now.

Tears in your eyes
are of joy, not of pain!
Tears in your bright, happy
face, my love!

Time to laugh now,
time to kiss now.
Time to deeply sigh
and hold you tight.

The days are gone
when we couldn't embrace.
I love you from the bottom of my
heart!


--- Chorus (return home) ---
Let's make this moment ... (repeat and fade out)
