The fragrance is dark, bitter I feel all the sadness of the world In my soul as I drink down the pain I close my eyes and hear your voice out in the distance I see your sweet face out in the rain
Seems so real I just want to reach out and embrace you Only if for a while
I flee to a memory Of your arms around me Of your smile, your beauty, your love Cling to me now Murmur my name as we walk hand in hand and Release this pain in me
Your smile gave me strength, splendor Your voice filled my heart with warmth and joy When I met you, you lit up my world You changed my life, showed me the beauty living around me Never had I known what love meant until you
But you're gone And nothing's the same without your presence The color has drained away
How I miss your innocence How I long for your tenderness How I yearn for my world to return Oh if only I could go back and be there when you needed me Maybe you'd be here
[piano break]
The bitterness burns Oh how I yearn Scalding... Haunting...
Oh, can you feel it burn?
Everything's so meaningless All the world's full of emptiness Life exists only there in my dreams
Now I stand here Wishing you'd somehow return to my arms But the silence brings me back
I must move ahead Even though you're gone Even though fate's thrown me into a world full of grey
