You were standing by yourself
intensly looking at a picture
on the wall and frowning
Like you couldn't see the point
and then you turned around
and I was looking straight
into your eyes and drowning
All those art know-it-alls
and their voices too loud
I hung on to your face
as you walked through the crowd

And God knows you take me through
Heaven and Hell
The height of joy
And depth of desperation
And it's been like this
From the moment I fell
The words of love
And bitter accusation
But each time we meet
I yield to the wonder
The hours so breathless and shining
And God knows you take me through
Heaven and Hell, heaven and hell

Sorry, but I have to leave
That dreaded moment always comes too soon
There's no mistaking
Putting on a dressing gown
I feel the chill of disappointment
And of anger and my heart is breaking
Then you're kissing me gently
And holding me tight
And when you close the door
I'm still feeling all right

And God knows you take me through
Heaven and Hell, heaven and hell
