Bittersweet

When I saw you for the very first time
Took a chance and I asked you for a dance
Held you tight in the disco lights and I
Knew right then that this was meant to be
I can still see your dancing eyes
I can still feel the love that I felt inside
You know I can't ever think of a better time
And I told you that I was coming after you

Called you up, asked you out, you were pleased
In the dark of the Odeon I squeezed your hand
Running wild, laughing loud, loving long
Finding out all about you and your favourite songs
Walking round in a summer daze
Gazing up at the stars of the Milky Way
I was amazed that you felt the same
And I told you that I was always there for you

Bought a ring, asked you if you would be
Interested in exclusivity?
Got a place and we made it our own, made a home
From a house and filled it with our family
Happy days as we learned and loved
Through the hard times and through the good
And I never once felt it wasn't enough
And I told you that I was so complete with you

Passing years flying by so fast
Kids are gone, we're alone at last
And I still feel the same as I did back then
And I told you that you meant everything to me

There's a space in the bed, there's a hole
There's a tear in my heart that I can't close
Sometimes I could swear that I hear you say
That I have to be strong, when you have gone away
No regrets and I know that it comes to us all
That in every life a little rain must fall
And I cherish the days and I still recall
When you told me that you loved me to the end
Loved me to the end
Loved me to the end
