[Verse 1]
Who could say what would follow
Big holes in the dark
I couldn't say where you'd gone to
But every night I would ask
[Pre-Chorus]
When hope went away
I still held on
To the love that you gave
Oh, it's all I've got of you now
[Chorus]
I will never know you
Don't get to understand
No answers to questions
It's too late for that
But I was in your arms
I was in your arms
I was in your arms
Your arms once
Just for a moment
[Verse 2]
I'll remember you my way
It's not perfect or fair
But I paint you with colours
That weren't ever there
[Pre-Chorus]
Feels harder these days
After so long
'Cause my memory fades
And it's all I'vе got of you now
[Chorus]
I will never know you
Don't get to undеrstand
No answers to questions
It's too late for that
But I was in your arms
I was in your arms
I was in your arms
Your arms once
[Bridge]
And these aren't tears because you're gone
For all the years that we lost
All those times I missed that laugh
Had it just for a moment
[Chorus]
I will never know you
Don't get to understand
No answers to questions
No, it's too late for that
But I was in your arms
I was in your arms
I was in your arms
Your arms once
Just for a moment
