You shed a tear I watched it fall to your pillow
Soon it will be dawn and then it's time for me to go
I know that you're sleeping

Still hoping and dreaming
Why don't they just let us stay together
So open up your eyes

And kiss me goodbye

Why can't they see how much you mean to me

You're always in my heart whenever we're apart
Our loving should be free
But they don't know how much you mean to me


They don't know, no, no ...


I touch your hand in the softness of daylight
Hold you in my mind until I see you again
You told me you'd be there still waiting forever

Why can't they just love us each other
So hold me in your arms
Cos it's time for me to go now


Why can't they see how much you mean to me
You're always on my mind

I'm waiting for the time when our loving can be free
But they don't know how much you mean to me


And it feels like the walls are tumbling down again
And I feel my world is breaking apart again
And I know that before this night is true

I'm gonna break your heart
I didn't mean it baby


Oh baby hey hey
Why can't they see how much you mean to me
You're always in my heart whenever we're apart

Tell me why can't they see how much you mean to me
You're always in my heart whenever we're apart
Our loving should be free

But they don't know
How much you mean to me
They don't know, no, no ...
