my love, it's been going on too long
and i know you think it's wrong of me
when i tell you how you shine on
and time, it's been rolling through my mind
yes i know that it is wrong of me
but i always see you shine on me

and i know that i won't feel like this forever
and i know the day will come when this is over
and so I'll go my way
don't know what's left to say

but when you look back on this years from now
will you ask yourself
will you wonder how
you could let my love just slip and fall
cause when I'm gone i won't look back at all

my love, we've been falling down too far
yes i know you think it's wrong of me
when i tell you how you shine on
and time, it's still rolling through my mind
and i know that it is wrong of me
but i always see you shine on me

and i know that i won't feel like this forever
and i know the day will come when this is over
and so I'll go my way
don't know what's left to say

but when you look back on this years from now
will you ask yourself
will you wonder how
you could let my love just slip and fall
cause when I'm gone i won't look back at all
