I've Lost it All

we fell in love before the sun could even set

we fell in love without a clue for what comes next

we fell in love

but then the sun went down

we danced as lovers in the fading of the light

we held each other and looked beyond the barriers of sight

we fell in love

but then the sun went down

i've lost it all

you cannot save a man

after he falls

i've tried to find my wings

but i've got no wings at all

i've lost it all

i looked upon your picture and tried to reach right in

i conjured up the memories of where we two had been

we fell in love

but then the sun went down

i was shaken and defeated, hollow and heartbroken

i kept dreaming of your lips and the words that you had spoken

we fell in love

then the sun went down

i've lost it all

you cannot save a man

after he falls

i've tried to find my wings

i've got no wings at all

i've lost it all

we fell in love before the sun could even set

we fell in love without a clue for what comes next

we fell in love

but then the sun went down

we danced as lovers in the fading of the light

we held each other and looked beyond the barriers of sight

we fell in love

but then the sun went down

i've lost it all

you cannot save a man

after he falls

i've tried to find my wings

but i've got no wings at all

i've lost it all
