If you wish I'll forfeit my place in your history
To start anew with a future view of what we could be
The years spent apart were a time-wasting game
Grew older and wiser but end up the same
Take a look at the things I've said and the nerves they touch
The bottom line is that my only crime was loving you too much
And maybe we never quite saw eye-to-eye
But when love's this strong it's worth another try
You can't cheat fate so don't you try it
'Cos you know when I saw you tonight I knew that if we had never been so close before
I still would have fallen in love with you tonight
You loved me but you broke my heart and I fell from grace
But I've been good and I know I should be back in my rightful place
And, crazy though they are, I'll realise my dreams
The green-tinted, sixties-type, summer-of-love-kind it seems
That though we've been so far apart the same star was leading us
Down a path where hearts and souls will marry
You are the picture that I always want to carry
When we dance the walls will fall apart so we can start to make it so
If you wish I'll retake my place in your family
Refrain the song, sing another verse in a major key
And when we look back on our lives in a while
The fairytale ending will still make us smile
You can't cheat fate so don't you try it
I still would have fallen in love with you tonight
You can't cheat fate so don't you try it
When I saw you I knew that if we had never been lovers before
I still would have fallen in love with you tonight
