I saw her face

In a dream last night

Yes, it hurt so much

She was in my mind

As I drank my wine

And now I count the costs

Of the one I lost

She went away

To a different place

And she was never to return

Whatever happened to that girl?

Sometimes you don't know what you've got

You think you're better than the rest

And the world belongs to you

But you're nothing but a fool

If you can hold her in your hands

If you can feel her in your heart

Don't ever let her run away

Cause it will break you later on

When you're left there on your own

Don't ever let her slip away

Don't ever let her drift away

It's a crying shame

It caused so much pain

It's sad that way

It was me that day

Cause I turned you away

Like I didn't know who you were

I was such a fool

I was so cruel

And the years went by

And without a word of lie

I still love you

But what can I do?

Sometimes you don't know what you've got

You think you're better than the rest

And the world belongs to you

But you're nothing but a fool

If you can hold her in your hands

If you can feel her in your heart

Don't ever let her run away

Don't ever let her drift away

Cause it will break you later on

When you're left there on your own

Don't ever let her slip away

Don't ever let her drift away

Hold her in your hand

Feel her in your heart

Don't ever let her drift away (let her drift away)

Sometimes you don't know what you've got

You think you're better than the rest

And the world belongs to you

But you're nothing but a fool

If you can hold her in your hands

Feel her in your heart

Don't ever let her run away

Don't ever let her drift away

Hold her in your hand

Feel her in your heart

Don't ever let her drift away (let her drift away)
