|
There is a place |
|
Underneath the staircase |
|
Where I keep the evidence |
|
Of what once would offer peace |
|
In a deep blue velvet box, filled with joy and pride |
|
Should I pick the locks? |
|
Should I peek inside? |
|
Can I stand the sight of those happy days? |
|
Should I strike a match, burn them all away?' |
|
Cause you stole my bell and you broke my chime |
|
And the clock spins 'round but it won't keep time |
|
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world |
|
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much |
|
I love you |
|
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much |
|
I love you |
|
So here we are |
|
But it's not quite like we thought |
|
Those things were priceless then |
|
Now I know, they can't be bought |
|
In a deep blue velvet box, fastened with a pin |
|
Should I lift the lid? |
|
Should I look within? |
|
Was it my last chance or my first mistake? |
|
Is it just a step that we'll never take?' |
|
Cause you stole my bell and you broke my chime |
|
And the clock spins 'round but it won't keep time |
|
There are many lovely girls in this cold and loveless world |
|
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much |
|
I love you |
|
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much |
|
I love you |
|
But not one is the equal of you, heaven knows how much |
|
I love you |
