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
