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

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

Like I used to

Like I used to

So how could I let you go?
