I love you I don't want to sing the saddest song I've heard Don't want to sing it to you I love you Though I've tried I couldn't stay away from you Now I'm back home to you We were never free to love the way we wanted to love We were two souls searching for the light Buried in a room of dead leaves Like memories that just won't let go You were calling to me in a voice Just like a child it won't let me go, ooh On an old bed we lay together so full of gentleness and hope And held each other tight We could make it through the night And so I watched you as you tried to close your eyes and fall asleep So tenderly you held on to me It's as if you knew it all The saddest song of all I love you Love was when we were so young and innocent With a secret all our own I love you Lovers who were trying to reach for a place we could never go Holding on to a dream of a lifetime together as one All I ever gave you was sorrow instead of the sun And all you ever asked me was to say I love you and you alone You told me you could never live without my love But now you re on your own, ooh On an old bed we lay together so full of gentleness and hope And held each other tight We could make it through the night And so I watched you as you tried to close your eyes and fall asleep So tenderly you held on to me And now I’ll whisper it to you "I’ll always love you" "I’ll always love you"
