How could I live without you The longing’s far too strong to deny But I would just break down and die To see him getting hurt Would weigh me down with grief
What if he knew Would he pretend to be so blind What could he do Being the one who’s left behind But how can we choose between friendship and love
In dreams I first beheld you Then found your name engraved on my heart
You’re all that I desire But betraying him tears me apart
Love defies all reason We can’t be holding on To secrets we can’t keep
He’ll question my devotion Consider it a breach of faith
Tormented by emotion Held captive in these silken chains
How love can lead to treason And right can lead to wrong We watch in disbelief
What if he knew Would he pretend just not to see So much to lose He can’t afford to let it be But how can he choose between friendship and love
We’re part of each other Like sun and moon, like night and day But sworn to another A dream has come and gone astray Who’ll make this nightmare go away
What if he knew Would he pretend just not to see So much to lose He can’t afford to let it be But how can we choose...
