You're tellin' ev'rybody that it's over
That our love affair was just a waste of time
To think I thought I walked in fields of clover
When your sweet love was never really mine

I'm passing through the gate where the sun will never shine
Too much I know too late, how could I be so blind
I'd like to forget you, but I don't have that much time
I know I can't get over you before I lose my mind

(Instrumental Break)

How could I even hope to keep her memory
When at anytime the past will disappear
When that time comes if I could just remember
One moment of desire when you were here

I'm passing through the gate where the sun will never shine
Too much I know too late, how could I be so blind
I'd like to forget you, but I don't have that much time
I know I can't get over you before I lose my mind
I know I can't get over you before I lose my mind
