Lay me down in a bed of roses
Touch my lips before I sleep
You're with me now but when I close my eyes
She's in my dreams and the pain's still deep

Like a candle in the wind I'm easy to put out
Like a picture through your window
You see right through my heart
Like a candle in the rain I'm easy to put out
Like a picture through your window
You see right through my heart

I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
And only time will heal time will heal all wounds

I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
And only time will heal time will heal all wounds

Lay me down in a bed of roses
Feel the thorns they cut my heart
The drops of blood they fall and mix with all my tears
Have I given up on love

Like the candle in the rain I'm easy to put out
Like a picture through your window
You see right through my heart

I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
And only time will heal time will heal all wounds

I never knew that nights could be so long
Without you
And only time will heal time will heal all wounds
