love, my love
I regret the day you went away
I was too young to understand my
love
but now I realize my mistakes

where, where are you now
now that I'm ready to
ready to love you the way you
loved me then
where are you now
do you still think of me
or does your heart belong to
someone else's

love, oh my love
wonder sometimes were you just a
dream
I sit in the dark
wondering if our paths
will ever cross again
oh lord I need to know
I sit and wonder

where, where are you now
now that I'm ready to
ready to love you the way you
loved me then
where are you now

if I close my eyes
and make a wish
when they open will you be right
here with me

where, where are you now
now that I'm ready to
ready to love you the way you
loved me then
where are you now
do you still think of me
or does your heart belong to

sould it be that two people were
meant to be
in my dreams that's what I feel
or could it be that I'll never see you
again
my love that was so true




still I'll sit here waiting all alone
by the phone for you

You were the shadow to my light
Did you feel us
Another start
You fade away
Afraid our aim is out of sight
Wanna see us
Alive
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Was it all in my fantasy
Where are you now
Were you only imaginary
Where are you now
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now
Another dream
The monsters running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded
These shallow waters, never met
What I needed
I'm letting go
A deeper dive
Eternal silence of the sea
I'm breathing
Alive
Where are you now
Where are you now
Under the bright
But faded lights
You set my heart on fire
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Where are you now
Atlantis
Under the sea
Under the sea
Where are you now
Another dream
The monsters running wild inside of me
I'm faded
I'm faded
So lost
I'm faded
