Is it maybe I've come undone And one thing more You know it don't come easy_____ Even the best of

friends must part Even so it grieves me

____Soon the storm will be over And the clouds will all pass by_____ To be insane beyond belief

Is sometimes the best relief And one thing sure Love never did come easy_______ Even the best

Of dreams must end Even so it grieves me
