Everybody needs a little time away, I heard her say, from each other. Even lovers need a holiday far away from each other. Hold me now. its hard for me to say Im sorry. I just want you to stay. After all that weve been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to. And after all thats been said and done, Youre just the part of me I cant let go. Couldnt stand to be kept away just for the day from your body. Wouldnt wanna be swept away, far away from the one that I love. Hold me now. its hard for me to say Im sorry. I just want you to know. Hold me now. I really want to tell you Im sorry. I could never let you go. After all that weve been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to. And after all thats been said and done, Youre just the part of me I cant let go. After all that weve been through, I will make it up to you. I promise to.

I keep to myself what I might share with others but they don't seem to understand I open my mouth to rediscover that I don't have the words at my command holding out for a world so much better but I'm a stranger in a stranger's land all my friends have sold out couldn't handle the pressure counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can Children say - children say we open our minds as one but one more day - slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be When I overhear my parents conversations well I'm struck by the things they say it seems they traded the years for mere complications who ever thought it could end this way they close the door but they can't lock it 'cause something of their childhood remains and they've felt it before when the man in their pocket counted the cost of their material gains Children say - come what may be strong for the friends you've known but one fine day - (not) far away will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say we open our minds as one as one more day slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Well you knew what I was saying but did you know what it meant when you saw that look in my eye did you know it was heaven sent was it all a waking dream all that time we must have spent well I guess it must have been somehow that feeling came and went Children say - come what may be strong for the friends you've known but one fine day - (not) far away will we remember the love we used to own Children say - children say we open our minds as one as one more day - slips away why don't the dreams of the young never come to be Children say - children say we thought it would never go as one more day - slips away who ever thought we could be so lonely
