We were both children when, So full of innocence, We used to play our games in flowery fields, You're the one who could see, The good inside of me, And I knew then that I had something real, I used to love you from afar, As we all decided who we are, But you were never mine to have, Still I loved you to the last, Because you were my, you are my always, For years my feelings grew, But I was losing you, The only happiness I'd ever known, Another came along, And slowly won your heart, I cared enough for you to let you go, I used to love you from afar, As we all decided who we are, You were never mine to have, Still I loved you to the last, Because you were my, you are my always, A thousand times the words just died right on my lips, Regret came over me with its swift and stinging kiss, I used to love you from afar, As we all decided who we are, You were never mine to have, Still I loved you to the last, Because you were my, you are my always.
