Foolishly I destroyed a love,
a love I knew was true
For a little cup of passion,
and for just a little taste of you
And for one glowing moment,
for one touch of ecstasy
I rushed headlong into something,
and I knew it could never, be
With your kiss upon my lips,
I watch you walk away
Leaving me adrift between you and yesterday
I can't go back, I can't go on
I can't recapture love and
the dream that's gone
Although you don't want me,
I just keep hanging on
I know you don't want me,
but my mind drives me on
Like a love that's gone,
keep pounding in my brain
Feeling pain for me,
such a sad refrain
Oh, my love keeps on growing
It grows on and on,
though the dream is gone
My love keeps on growing
Like an ember in the ashes it grows, oh
Lord
When will I be strong
enough to face reality
And stop this hungry madness
from destroying me?
Help me, help me baby, from this misery I can't go on,
I can't go on if you're not here with me
I'm weaker than a flower,
dying from the drought
My love is like a fire,
just too hot to try and stand on
My mind tells me one thing,
my heart tells me two
My strength is my weakness,
and I don't know what to do
My love keeps on growing
It grows on and on,
though the dream is gone
Oh, my love keeps on going
Like the endless river flowing,
it goes on and on
Oh, my love keeps on going
It flows on and on for all this time
And my love keeps on going
Like a haunting melody,
it lingers on and on
My love keeps on growing
And I'll hold it on for the greatest part
My love...
