I always thought my heart would keep away
from love, but suddenly I find it true.
I'm saying things I never thought I'd say;
I understood love when I first loved you.
And even through my words of deepest scorn,
you dared to love this fiercesome creature – me!
With every moment I become more torn;
the things I knew - the things I would not see!
But sorrow, more than love, is on my mind –
what time we wasted in our foolish pride!
I've found a love I never thought I'd find.
Too many years I've lain awake and sighed.
And now, when it is useless to deny,
we must make up for what had passed us by.
