The children are sleeping our talk can begin We´ve waited until they´ve gone to bed We knew they would cry when we said goodbye And I´d rather leave quietly instead
We can never be happy, we both know it´s true We´ve quarreled from the day that we met Our love was too weak to pull our dreams through But too strong to let us forget
I hope we can salvage a few memories To carry us through the long night The clock´s striking midnight, yesterday´s gone And there´s no tomorrow in sight
In our efforts to break through the thick walls of pride With harsh words that burned to the core The wall´s still remaining but the words broke inside And strengthened the walls even more
I hope we can salvage a few memories To carry us through the long night The clock´s striking midnight, yesterday´s gone And there´s no tomorrow in sight
