We met it seems a life ago When youth was strong and love was bold But now our fear has taken hold enough Your eyes they held a promise of It flew away that frightened dove So now the push has come to shove enough Won't be the one to hold your hand I hope, I beg you'll understand I've drawn a line across a sand My love, I wish you well I miss your simple cotton dress The finger in my fingertips The taste of you upon my lips enough But our home was in a house of cards The broken glass and mirror shards Have left their mark and deeper scars enough Won't be the one to hold your hand I hope, I beg you'll understand I've drawn a line across a sand My love, I wish you well Oh, the but the night is colder All of the lies are over No longer on my shoulder now Won't be the one to hold your hand I hope, I beg you'll understand I've drawn a line across a sand My love, I wish you well Won't be the one to hold your hand I hope, I beg you'll understand I've drawn a line across a sand I wish you well I wish you well I wish you well
