Hello Blue Eyes

Hello Blue Eyes
Good bye heart  
I knew I loved you
Right from the start  
When you looked at me
I could barely breathe  
Hello Blue Eyes  
Good bye heart

Time swiftly passes

Time swiftly passes
and betrays us as it goes
it steals from us our memories 
and our health soon follows
life is short and precious
and time is not our friend
its the enemy that stalks us
and destroys us in the end

you never hurt the one you love

you never hurt the one you love
because you love them so
and you would do anything
to never see them go

so if you are not sure about
whether you love them or not
just ask yourself could you hurt them
and if not its love you've got

you and me

i think about you all the time
but you never think of me
that's how i know that you and i
could never be a we.

we a word
a pronoun
the union of you and me
but you will never love me
so there will never be a we

there is no we or us or them
a dream that will never be
the reality is
you and i
are only you and me
