She came on like the night and she held on tight

And the world was right when she made love to me

We were free

She moved in like a friend , started loving me

And I thought I'd found my heaven in her arms

But the morning when I woke up

I was here and she was gone

Now I'm hanging on

Maybe you can tell me how a love so right can turn out to be so wrong



Where did she go when I need her close to me

And the perfect story ended at the start

I thought you came forever and you came to break my heart

Now I'm hanging on , on the chance that you'll come back to me



How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling

How a love so right can turn out to be so wrong , oh my darling

I could take it in my stride

Start living for the moment

Maybe half the things we sought were never there

Simply open up our eyes and break it down to size

It isn't really fair
