You shed a tear, I washed it far to your pillow Soon it will be gone, 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 now 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 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 let us love each other So hold me in your arms, cause 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 And I know that before this night is through I'm gonna break your heart I didn't mean it baby 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 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
