• Once more,
    I hear you call my name.
    Looking back,
    I see the shadow of one I'd loved.
    But now he's gone,
    And I'm alone.

    The years have flown by--
    The times when we could laugh and play
    Have passed like a flitting bird,
    And now, looking back,
    I see them as beautiful dreams,
    Never able to be attained again.

    The chances have gone--
    The chances you had to make up for your mistakes
    Have run dry like a well, a desert.
    Now, looking back,
    I wonder at my patience.

    The love has gone--
    The love I gave you, no matter what lies you told
    Has now vanished, like a phantom.
    Now, looking within,
    I see I have more to give...but to another.
    And now, in the silence,
    I hear a voice.


    Once more,
    I hear you call my name.
    Looking back,
    I see the shadow of one I'd loved.
    But now he's gone,
    And I'm alone.
