The Role of Love

Love is a beautiful word that you used to say to me

I've been a fool to think it would not disappear

Something in your smile so soft and warm

Something in your eyes so sad and cold

Somewhere in my heart those memories still bright and strong

Love is a beautiful lie that you used to tell me girl (boy)

I needed someone to believe and you were the one

Something in your ways so sweet and shy

Something in your talk so cheap and dry

Somewhere in the world a sailor wrote of you and I

If I had the chance to be the man

(If I had) the heart to take your hand

Keep promises and make our dreams come true

If I could turn back time and make you mine

I would never let you go

I was wrong and you were right

And (simply) now I know

Love is a beautiful word that you used to show me

You've made me think about things that money can't buy

Some things in this life we can't forget

Some things from a time we now regret

Sometimes we all have to understand
