Ever since that first night
When I gave my love to you
Everything just seems so right
You are my sunlight shining through
And I`ve tried so not to let it show
Yet it seems sad because I know
Chorus
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try
It`s always a goodbye
You smile softly as you leave my bed
And I tightly hold your hand
You lean down to kiss my head
But there`s nothing to be said
And if you say you want to stay
I`d know you`d soon be on your way
Chorus
No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
It`s always a goodbye
Repeat Chorus
So here we stand, you and I
You are too kind, I`m too shy
To say what we really mean
So we make life a masquerade
Never showing all, only the parts we play
Repeat Chorus
