I Lost You

"I lost you I lost you You slipped from your costume Like an actress in this tragedy You're just an apparition in a haunting mystery I fear that you've passed over me And there's nothing I can do because I lost you Just like a rich man who is careless of his change I took you for granted And then you went to strangers Deep within my heart I feel a distant fading pulse A poor woman looking for last coin in her purse I lost you I lost you You slipped from your costume Like an actress in this tragedy You're just an apparition in a haunting mystery I fear that you've passed over me And there's nothing I can do because I lost you Just like a counterfeit you pass from palm to palm I chased the one I surely loved to someone else's arms I mislaid my senses, now that's easy to say A fool who took his pleasure but then threw his love away I lost you I lost you You slipped from your costume Like an actress in this tragedy You're just an apparition in a haunting mystery I fear that you've passed over me There's nothing I can do because I lost you I lost you I lost you "
