The streetlights form an endless line
Leading away from here.
(Away from you.)
And soon my feet will carry me reluctantly into them,
While my heart stays with you.
My words have failed me this time.
I couldn't convince you not to let go of me,
So I'll keep holding on to you.

If I let go of your hand,
Will I ever hold you again?
And if I were to close my eyes,
Would they ever again meet yours?
(By morning I will be alone.
So for right now I'll hold you close.
This might be our last goodbye.
But you're still mine,
Just for tonight.)

I wonder if the memories are flashing before your eyes,
Like they are in mine.
Are you thinking of the things we've shared,
That may never come again?
What's on your mind, my love?
Before you go, I just need you to know
That you mean everything to me.
The time is late, and I should leave.
But please promise not to forget me.

As I walk away,
My eyes seek yours.
I'm looking back,
But you're not looking for me.
