I've seen your forbidden treasures, 

But those riches I just can't hold 

Though they shine just like a diamond, 

And they're precious as pure gold 

But someone is waiting to love me, 

With a heart so strong and true 

And though it might be easy to stay here, 

I'm gonna walk away from you 



Chorus: 



I feel inside the burning of a love that just can't be 

And nothing can quench this yearning 

That builds inside of me 

I've got more than a man could ask for 

So wanting you is foolish dreams 

Still, you're a vision to dream on, 

But a memory I don't need 



I know it's not much consolation, it's hard to bow out gracefully 

Darlin', I just have to thank you, you always left it up to me 

There'll be no consummation, but dreaming is not a crime 

And you'll be a sweet inspiration, for a long long time 



Repeat Chorus
