Oh love why do you forsake me, turn your face from my eyes,
you tantalize and tease me with what I know are lies.
My weary heart won't let me stop believing what can't be,
I follow you with open eyes with eyes to blind to see.
Sometimes I feel that you are near than like a diamonds gleam,
you've gone again and left me, passing by as in a dream.
Like a gentle melody you drift into my mind,
and hide amongst the shadows to hard for me to find.
You dance before me in the night, I dream though I'm awake,
and when you leave at sunrise my dreams you will forsake.
I know no peace when you are near or when you can't be found,
I'll know no peace within my heart as long as your around.
Yet in my confusion what can I do I wish to make you go,
but if you did I couldn't bare the sorrow I would know.
Though I want to strike you from my life, my life no more to touch,
the very thought of life without that touch would almost be to much.
Elusive love I'd give you life if I could have that gift from you,
a love as deep as I have to give, a love thats deep and true.
Oh love why do you forsake me, why do you delay,
I only ask you for my dreams, the dreams you took away.
