He holds the mirror to my soul
A beautiful mystery
He is too young

I am too old
Yet we fit perfectly


How could you feel
Emotions I could never reveal
Sleight of hand or of sleight of time

Tell me why can't he be mine

Am I a pawn in someone's game

And some grand illusion
Sent here to taunt him without shame
Causing confusion


How could he know
Sleight of hand or Sleight of time

Tell me why can't he be mine

I cried a river of regret

Indulged in misery
Why long for something I can't get
When I get it eventually


How could he see
That our love was always meant to be

Sleight of hand or Sleight of time
Tell me why can't he be mine…..


Why can't he be mine
Why can't he be…….
