From Happiness to Heartbreak

 

 

So sweet and tender our first real embrace

So gentle and warm your caress on my face

Then our fingers link each time our hands touch

And the trembling and yearning becomes far too much.

 

We found a sweet love that for us was brand new

And this feeling blossomed, so tender, so true.

When we were apart, how long the hours would last,

When we were together, how the moments flew past.

 

As the months drifted by and our feelings grew strong

We had no thought of what’s right or what’s wrong

Caught up in sweet passion, we both lived a lie

Not dreaming for a moment that our love could die.

 

You held me, we kissed, and love’s flame burned bright

We knew it was wrong… but the feeling seemed right.

We took our chances and found to our cost

That again we had loved … and again we had lost.

 

Happiness to heartbreak, just a small step away

Not hot tears and loneliness is the price we must pay

For loving too much… and for living a lie

How will we survive? All we can do is try!

 

We face the empty hours, each day that we’re apart

And weep a flood of salt tears that drowns each broken heart

Each night we are together in sweet and loving dreams

Each day we cope the best we can … and live with heartbreak screams.

 

Each night we are together in sweet and loving dreams

Each day we cope the best we can … and live with heartbreak screams.
