I came so close to paradise

The feelings were so true

You cried for me to come home

Now, I was crying too

We said so many things in anger

There seems little left to do

Than put the pen to paper

I can't write good-bye to you



I didn't mean to wake up

From the dream that was my life

I didn't mean to wake up

I can't stop the changes now



When you wake up in the morning

Don't look for me, I'll be gone

There's a letter on the table

With best regards from John



I didn't mean to wake up

From the dream that was my life

I didn't mean to wake up

I can't stop the changes now



I came so close to paradise

The feelings were so true

You cried for me to come home

Now I'm crying too



I didn't mean to wake up

From the dream that was my life

I didn't mean to wake up

I can't stop the changes now
