Dearest

[nmskalmn]

Though it would be nice if we could throw away everything
Except those things which we truly cherish
The reality seems just plain cruel

At times like that, always
When I close my eyes, you're right by me, smiling

Ah - Until the day comes
When I slip into that eternal sleep
I want for that smile
To remain with me always

It's unfortuante that everyone
Lives, always forgetting

For the sake of someone I should love
For the sake of someone who gives me love
There's something I can do

Ah - When we first met
We were so clumsy at everything
We really took the long way, didn't we?
And wound up hurting each other

Ah - Until the day comes
When I slip into that eternal sleep
I want for that smile
To remain with me always

Ah - When we first met
We were so clumsy at everything
Though we took the long way around
We have arrived
