Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I see the early glow
I hear you say, "Hello"
I watch the shadows fall
I don't see you at all
[Refrain]
It's a lie
I don't believe it's so
It's a lie
[Verse 2]
I see the autumn rain
Falling on my window pane
I hear you say, "Goodbye"
I see a tear in your eye
[Refrain]
It's a lie
I don't believe it's so
It's a lie
[Chorus]
Our love couldn't go wrong
How could I know I was only dreaming?
And now, now that you're gone
I will go on really believing
I take the fall
[Verse 3]
I see you slip away
Into another day
There's no one else around
I watch the sun go down
[Refrain]
It's a lie
I don't believe it's so
It's a lie
[Chorus]
Our love couldn't go wrong
How could I know I was only dreaming?
And now, now that you're gone
I will go on really believing
I take the fall
[Bridge]
I take the fall
[Verse 4]
I see you in a dream
You turn and start to go
I call to you, once more
Guess that I'm takin' the fall
[Refrain]
It's a lie
I don't believe it's so
It's a lie
[Chorus]
Our love couldn't go wrong
How could I know I was only dreaming?
And now, now that you're gone
I will go on really believing
[Chorus]
Our love couldn't go wrong
How could I know I was only dreaming?
And now, now that you're gone
I will go on really believing
[Outro]
I take the fall
