In the early morning just at daybreak I am faced with the steps that I must take And I know we can't be together No, not today, tomorrow or forever As in a dream I turn for a moment I feel the joy of that our love meant It hurts to know that we can't be together Not today, tomorrow or forever I can only dream now of New York and Paris And of the days in my grand Moscow palace I won't forget, I will always remember Though you are gone, not just for now but forever We will never forget, Hallelujah, Hallelujah ... Don't say goodbye my love, our hearts sadly yearning Can it be true you won't be returning The way you said we cannot be together No, not today, tomorrow or forever And I will live for you in every lonely place In every moment's sleep I will see your face But as I reach out and try to touch your hand You're not there, Oh God, how can I understand And so farewell to a love so forsaken A sad hello to the steps fate has taken The cards are down, we cannot be together But I will treasure your memory forever The book is closed now, we cannot be together But in our hearts we'll have each other forever We'll live apart with love together forever We'll live apart but love together forever
