I can't hold onto her, God give me strength
When the phone doesn't ring
And I'm lost in imagining
Everything that kind of love is worth
As I tumble back down to the earth
That song is sung out
This bell is rung out
He
She was the light that I'd bless
He
She took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength,

She took my last chance at happiness
So God give me strength, God give me strength
