You shed a tear I watched it fall to your pillow
  Soon it will be dawn and then it's time for me to go
  I know that you're sleeping
  Still hoping and dreaming
  Why don't they just let us stay together
  So open up your eyes
  And kiss me goodbye
  
  Why can't they see how much you mean to me
  You're always in my heart whenever we're apart
  Our loving should be free
  But they don't know how much you mean to me
  
  They don't know, no, no ...
  
  I touch your hand in the softness of daylight
  Hold you in my mind until I see you again
  You told me you'd be there still waiting forever
  Why can't they just love us each other
  So hold me in your arms
  Cos it's time for me to go now
  
  Why can't they see how much you mean to me
  You're always on my mind
  I'm waiting for the time when our loving can be free
  But they don't know how much you mean to me
  
  And it feels like the walls are tumbling down again
  And I feel my world is breaking apart again
  And I know that before this night is true
  I'm gonna break your heart
  I didn't mean it baby
  
  Oh baby hey hey
  Why can't they see how much you mean to me
  You're always in my heart whenever we're apart
  Tell me why can't they see how much you mean to me
  You're always in my heart whenever we're apart
  Our loving should be free
  But they don't know
  How much you mean to me
  They don't know, no, no ...
