Lyrics
Three months ago, how could we know that things would be this way,this way And then I turned around, your body soft and warm that once beside me lay Was gone, oh so gone But life so cruel can be so kind, and endings beget beginnings Endings are not the end I often felt you thought the room was much too small But then you left without a word, without a word And tonight I sleep alone, the room so dark,so cold They say tomorrow sun will shine, but I don't know, no I don't know And love's not a thing forever, bitter and sweet forever One cannot be without the other The other side of our treasure's now A bit of hope and then hope gone, a cloudless sky and then a cloud But life so cruel can be so kind, and endings beget beginnings Endings are not the end Oh three months ago, how could we know that things would be this way, this way In a dream I turned around, your body soft and warm again beside me lay But now it's gone, oh so gone....
