INTRO: I knew you wanted to tell me In your voice there was something wrong But if you would turn your face away from me You cannot tell me you're so strong (SAME AS ABOVE) Just let me ask of you one small thing As we have shared so many tears With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long Now are scattered in the wind In the terms of endearment In the terms of the life that you love In the terms of the years that pass you by In the terms of the reasons why SAME AS ABOVE Through the years I've grown to love you Though your commitment to most would offend But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride Waiting for you to give in You never really tried or so it seems I've had more than myself to blame I've had enough of trying everything CC And this time it is the end In the terms of endearment In the terms of the life that you love In the terms of the years that pass you by In the terms of the reasons why There's no more coming back this way The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns They've torn the life blood from your naked eyes CC Cast aside to be folorn In the terms of endearment In the terms of the life that you love In the terms of the years that pass you by In the terms of the reasons why Funny, how it seems that all I've tried to do Seemed to make no difference to you at all
