Hold me once more before I have to go
Hold me once more before I must leave you
Please understand there is nothing to hope for
Only this last embrace
No, you are not who I am supposed to be with
But I'm not the same since I've seen your lovely face
I know we are wrong and I should be strong
And go back to where I belong
Please understand there is nothing to hope for
Only this last embrace
Don't shed a tear, let me kiss away your sorrow
Look at all this love, try to hold it in your heart
For hearts without love have nothing to give
And hearts without love cannot live
Hold me once more darling, I have to go
Hold me once more before I will leave you
Please make me strong, give me something to live for
Give me this last embrace.
