Wow wow wow... What we've got here and now - we never see What we hold - we don't know until it's gone You were mine for a while but I let you go How could I be so blind I'll never know Wow wow wow... You were fire I was ice we were sun and fog Day and night we would fight like a cat and dog But every time you would leave I would miss you so I can't live with you here but I can't let you go Yeah just a tender word or just a gentle touch Would have a meant a lot - and might have saved our love We could share endless nights - and teach the stars to shine But alone we lie - with our stubborn pride And as time goes by - we might learn how to bend And as time goes by - my love for you won't end And as time goes by - as time goes by - I'll see you smile again As time goes by Little words little lies and little wounds Day by day night by night got out of hand All the games that you played I know too well Only one who plays them too can understand Oh peacefulness and truth is all I want from you But somehow there's too high a price to pay No happiness for us - no tenderness and trust We are so close - but still so far away And as time goes by - a faded photograph And as time goes by - though the frame is cracked And as time goes by - as time goes by - we'll look back and laugh As time goes by Everybody hurts and everybody learns That's just the heart's desire Baby where there's smoke you just might get burned Love is like a fire - baby And as time goes by - if we should meet again And as time goes by - I don't know where or when And as time goes by - as time goes by -maybe we'll be friends Wow wow wow
