I remember the month, remember the day
Remember you took my breath away
You holding my hand, you opened the door
Gently you pulled me to the floor

We were flawless, pure as the snow
Deep as the river of time that flows
And I, I need to know

How did a dream come to an end
How did I lose my lover, my friend
Couldn't we fall backwards in time
Back to the moment you became mine
Oh it's so hard to walk away
When you've had perfect for one day

I remember the place, remember the time
Remember how you made my world shine - oh
Why, why did you lie, why did you cheat
You made my life feel incomplete

We were flawless, pure as the snow
You tore me apart and you hurt me so
Now why I have to know

How did a dream come to an end
How did I lose my lover, my friend
Couldn't we fall backwards in time
Back to the moment you became mine
Oh it's so hard to walk away
When you've had perfect for one day

Why am I still here, why do I not leave
How can I stay, when I can hardly breathe
Frozen here in space, distant as a star
You are near but yet so far

Oh it's so hard to walk away
When you've known perfect for one day

How did a dream come to an end
How did I lose my lover, my friend
Couldn't we fall backwards in time
Back to the moment you became mine
Oh it's so hard to walk away
When you've had perfect for one day

When you've had perfect for one day
Yeah, we were perfect for one day
