Words & Music by Per Gessle

The first time we met time stood still
You left me breathless, suddenly speechless
Within the hour we were one
Two total strangers kissing the moonlight

Oh, you know I’m sorry I had to go.
I’m really sorry it had to die.
I’m really sorry I made you cry, cry

We fell in love between the nights
Of too many lovers and too many teardrops
And fate won’t resist some satin sheets
I was so helpless, totally ruthless

Oh, you know I’m sorry I had to go.
I’m really sorry you’re hurt inside.
I’m really sorry I made you cry, cry, cry

Love is lifting you up and draggin’ you down,
Makes you go round and round and round.
Time makes a stop then it’s all gone.
Funny how memories keep lingering on.
