They say that I will eventually forget about you.
They say that your memory will fade away.
They don't know you, is all I ever say!

On a pier watching fisherman fish, I see you.
On a boat wandering the ocean blue, your eyes still amaze me.
The scent of your skin haunts this night's summer breeze.

Time has passed but my feelings for you remain the same.
Can I forget that night we spent together.
Nothing seems as important, nothing seems to matter.

Love  is a word not used because of fear.
But love is the only word that fits.
You are the only one I could ever imagine my life with.

My life has gone on to know different lands and different  jobs.
But I thank you for the time we spent.
For how you made me feel, for what love meant. 

The mysteries of love are not easily fealt.
But with you, all seemed so clear.
With you, I always felt as if heaven was so near.

Now that your memory is back.
Tell me, how do i make my feelings go away?
Tell me, how do i make you stay?

Like a waterfall or a rageing river.
Like a thunderstorm or hurricane.
My feelings for you keep me from going insane.

Each night, all I do is wonder and wish.
Each winter, all I do is wage war with my deniel.
Each summer, I seem to have the hope of a child.

Now that you are back,
And my feelings remain the same.
Tell me, how do I make you stay?

Life in the city can drive you crazy.
With you, I never noticed the lights.
With you, the stars never seemed so bright.

The thought of going back home is comforting.
But how could I ever live there without you.
How could I make old memories seem new?

During the time of our love that I speak.
You were the one who inspired me.
You were the one who filled all my needs.

I search the ocean now for anything to fill my void.
But nobody gets a second chance at love's perfection.
Noboby ever get's satisfaction.

Now that you are back,
And my feelings remain the same.
Tell me, how do I make you stay?
