When I had you
I was as high as a man can be
You put joy in my heart
My life with you was a beautiful dream

When you said goodbye
I've never known such hurt
Baby, lovin' you was
The blessing and the curse
Lovin' you was
The blessing and the curse

When we made love
I felt a passion I can't describe
When you laid with me
I was so totally alive
When you walked away
You took my universe
Baby, lovin' you was
The blessing and the curse
Lovin' you was
The blessing and the curse

The blessing and the curse
It's my fate to walk this earth
Always loving you and regretting you
Always wanting you, never forgetting you
Never forgetting you

Baby, I ain't ashamed
To say you brought me down to my knees
From the mountain top
Down to the deepest, darkest sea
Where I still long for you
With a never ending thirst
Baby, lovin' you was
The blessing and the curse
Lovin' you was
The blessing and the curse

The blessing and the curse.
