Time After Time

I know our love will never be

More than a wistful memory,

And I shouldn't sigh when I see you,

Though time after time, I do.

And when in a helpless dream I chance

To touch your cheek or feel your glance,

I try not to fall in love with you,

Though time after time, I do.

Time after time, in the soft light of your face,

I reminisce, long for a kiss, a tight embrace--

The kind of love we made before.

Time after time, as our summer afternoons

Would warm the hours as we built towers to the moon

Until the night had passed us by.

But now since that time will never be

More than a wistful memory,

I try not to fall in love with you,

Though time after time, I do.
