Why Would I Let You Go

Here we are, laughing at the sea Baby, you and me Kissing like lovers long deprived of human touch Whispering with two tongues Afraid of saying too much Why would I let you go? Here we are, burning down the sun Prisoners on the run Drowning our sorrows in another desperate embrace Pushing back anything that might get in our way Why would I let you go? And in my dreams I have the strength To not keep love at an arm's length And in my dreams I see myself the way you do And in my dreams I understand The value of the love at hand And in my dreams I love you like I used to Here we are, stranded on a cloud The ocean's getting loud Aching for something to prolong this credulous view Asking the sunset for more crimson, violet and blue Why would I let you go? And in my dreams I have the strength To not keep love at an arm's length And in my dreams I see myself the way you do And in my dreams I understand The value of love at hand And in my dreams I love you like I used to Why would I let your love run out on me Here we are, lit up by the moon Babe, I spoke too soon Taking for granted all the love I cared to devour Spurning a heart so pure 'Cause I can't muster the power How could I let you go?
