Orange Sky Lyrics

Never

Once upon a time our love was new
So since the time I gave myself to you
Make me, break me
Never let me go
Never let me go
No...
No...

On and on we go
So don't you leave me
For the far and few between
So don't deceive me
Make me, break me
Never let me go
Never let me go

No...
No...

So once upon a time our love was new
So since the time I made sweet love to you
Make me, break me
Never let me go
Never let me go

No...
No...

Only time now will tell
Only time now will tell
Only time now will tell





Only time now will tell

Once upon a time our love was new
In the beginning, our love was fresh


So since the time I gave myself to you
Ever since I committed myself to you


Make me, break me
Take control of me, tear me apart or keep me whole


Never let me go
Don't ever abandon me


No...
A simple refusal or denial

We continue moving forward together


So don't you leave me
Don't depart from my side


For the far and few between
The rare and distant possibilities


So don't deceive me
Don't lie or mislead me


So once upon a time our love was new
So in the start, our love was virgin


So since the time I made sweet love to you
So after the moment I shared candid passion with you
