Why did you leave me when I need you so?
Why did you leave me? ~ my heart wants to know!
We had the world and there were dreams to spare
Why must we close our castles in the air?
Please be fair!

Look in your heart, dear, what do you see?
There must be one dream left there for me,
for how can I go on knowing we're apart, dear?
Why did you leave me, sweetheart?

There must be one dream left there for me,
for how can I go on knowing we're apart, dear?
Why did you leave me, sweetheart?
