You shed a tear I watched it fall to your pillow Soon it will be dawn and then it's time for me to go I know that you're sleeping Still hoping and dreaming Why don't they just let us stay together So open up your eyes And kiss me goodbye Why can't they see how much you mean to me You're always in my heart whenever we're apart Our loving should be free But they don't know how much you mean to me They don't know, no, no ... I touch your hand in the softness of daylight Hold you in my mind until I see you again You told me you'd be there still waiting forever Why can't they just love us each other So hold me in your arms Cos it's time for me to go now Why can't they see how much you mean to me You're always on my mind I'm waiting for the time when our loving can be free But they don't know how much you mean to me And it feels like the walls are tumbling down again And I feel my world is breaking apart again And I know that before this night is true I'm gonna break your heart I didn't mean it baby Oh baby hey hey Why can't they see how much you mean to me You're always in my heart whenever we're apart Tell me why can't they see how much you mean to me You're always in my heart whenever we're apart Our loving should be free But they don't know How much you mean to me They don't know, no, no ...
