In the early morning just at daybreak I am faced with the steps that I must take And I know, we can't be together No, not today, tomorrow or forever As in a dream I turn for a moment I feel the joy, all that our love meant It hurts to know that we can't be together Not today, tomorrow or forever I can only dream now of New York and Paris And of the days in my grand Moscow palace I won't forget, I will always remember Though you are gone, not just for now but forever We will never forget, hallelujah, hallelujah We will never forget, hallelujah, hallelujah We'll say goodbye my love, our hearts sadly yearning Can it be true, you won't be returning? The way is set, we cannot be together No, not today, tomorrow or forever And I will look for you in every lonely place In every moment's sleep I will see your face But as I reach out and try to touch your hand You're not there, oh, God, how can I understand? And so farewell to a love so forsaken A sad hello to the steps fate has taken The cards are down, we cannot be together But I will treasure your memory forever The book is closed now, we cannot be together But in our hearts we'll have each other forever We'll live apart with love together forever We'll live apart but love together forever
