No one could ever say that I didn’t try to save what once was mineOh girl, you once were my whole lifeBut I don’t think time will ever let love beThe master of our destinyOh, if that’s the way it must beThen there’ll be no dreams for me tonightNo more grass schemes to try to make you mine‘Cause no dreams are gonna change the way you feelGuess I’ll just go somewhere and hide away and healMaybe some day you’ll have a second thoughtAbout the love that we just lostGotta hope you doBut baby tonight, she’ll see and let you goGet used to being on my ownOh girl, if you really should, really shouldThen there’s no dreams for me tonightNo more grass schemes to try to make you mine‘Cause no dreams are gonna change the way you feelGuess I’ll just go somewhere and hide away and healI could tell you the meaning (oh)That your heart stopped being in it (oh)It’s too late for dreams (oh)No matter how magic they may be (oh)‘Cause no dreams are gonna change the way you feelGuess I just go somewhere (go somewhere)Far away (far away)And hide away and heal
