Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
When pain turns to years and goes away
A memory far gone, so bitter sweet
Sweet it is, it is, to taste recovery
The loss of my friend
And why haunts this hunger to love her
My ship set its sail a long time ago
And my mind has said its farewell
And my lips have declared it's time
But my heart cannot say it's goodbye
Now it's only in my dreams, have I been there
Her eyes so in love, her kiss so real
Now if only I could stay and dream a while
If a dream lasts a lifetime
But why haunts this hunger to love her
My ship set its sail a long time ago
And my mind has said it's farewell
And my lips have declared it's time
But my heart cannot say it's goodbye
Say it's goodbye
My ship set sail but still at shore
My heart cannot say it's goodbye
