"Look into my eyes,

Smile at me,

Tell me it can be forever,

And that we will be together for eternity;

I would catch every single falling star for you,

If you would accept my love with an open heart."

"Oh, my love!

You know I love you deeper than the ocean,

But, this cannot be;

My heart lies with another,

What would I give thee?"

"You promised that we would be together,

You promised it would be forever,

And, you told me you would leave her,

That we would start over."

"My darling;

I love you more than I love the world,

If we were together, we would be forever burned,

She is calling me,

Her heart wants me,

She is carrying my baby."

"You're so la!

With your lies,

And the tears you cause me to cry;

Maybe you are right,

Our love cannot be,

Why throw more fire to the wind?

Why do you deceive me so

With your false love, hopes, and promises?

We should part!

Our love cannot be,

When you leave two hearts torn apart."
