She's a girl in my life
She's my friend, she's my wife
But she lives away from me
She needs to feel that she is free
And even though, it's all I've got
With her I don't need much
To know I've got a lot
She's a dove caught in flight
Without a landing place in sight
But if I know her like I think
She'll find a place before she sinks
She's off alone, on her own
Leaving me to sit beside the telephone
Cast away loose the knot
She's getting sun on the spot
Where her ring used to be
Before feelings were stronger than our promise
Yesterday we walked hand in hand
You were with me, you were my own
You were my girl, you were the lover of my life
She's the girl that I love
She's the one that I think of
I have to hold on to the hope
That I did not miss the boat
So life goes on day by day
All that's left for me is hit my knees and pray
Cast away loose the knot
I'm getting sun on the spot
Where my ring used to be
Now it feels so empty
So I put it back, I had to live
And I hope you can forgive
That I've tried to forget
That my feelings were stronger than a promise
And I promise to be stronger than
