Love Eludes Me

Hope fills me
What wills me as you, you grace my nights
With a touch that melts me
And words that tell me
Finally, I'm done wonderin' why

Love eludes me
Love eludes me
Like a gone-with-mornin' dream
Love eludes me
Lies next to me
But it never is what it seems

Then pride impairs you
Or try and scares you
Or somethin' steals you away
And fate confounds me
As lonely hounds me
Like an old friend I can't unmake

And love eludes me
Love eludes me
Like a gone-with-morning dream
Love eludes me
Lies next to me
But it never is what it seems
No it never is what it seems

It won't
Won't let me give up
No, not yet
But don't
I know how hopeless it can get when

And love eludes me
Love eludes me
Like a gone-with-morning dream
Love eludes me
Lies next to me
But it never is what it seems
Love never is what it seems
