Why'd it take
One long year
To dream a dream
About a girl
Who had to leave?
I was nineteen.
She was sixteen.
I didn't know
What it could mean.
I've had this year,
Sitting here alone to think
And to wonder how
I didn't miss her
Back then...
But I miss her now.
That sweet dark skin
And dark brown hair...
It's in my mind,
Only here.
I can't go see her there.
I have all the time,
Only time to miss it all.
The hours spent...
Holding hands,
Making plans and talking
Sentiments.
If I'd have known
All my chances would be blown,
It would have been...
Different.
I try so hard,
But being apart,
I can't forget.
It lasted just three months.
I want it back.
It's been a million lifetimes since.
I can only see
A sky of gray clouds for me.
My happyness has disappeared.
Everything that happened
Was what I most feared.
I feel so not free.
That sweet dark skin
And dark brown hair...
It's in my mind,
Only here.
I can't go see her there.
I have all the time,
Only time to miss it all.
The hours spent...
Holding hands,
Making plans and talking
Sentiments.
It's not me,
Not me to dwell
On a serenity,
A Heaven...
Bitterly turning
Into the deepest Hell.
That sweet dark skin
And dark brown hair...
It's in my mind,
Only here.
I can't go see her there.
I have all the time,
Only time to miss it all.
The hours spent...
Holding hands,
Making plans and talking
Sentiments.
We promised eternity.
She promised her to me.
It's all said and done.
Nothing's coming back
But memories.
She might have been the one.
That sweet dark skin
And dark brown hair...
It's in my mind,
Only here.
I can't go see her there.
I have all the time,
Only time to miss it all.
The hours spent...
Holding hands,
Making plans and talking
Sentiments.
