Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A fleeting glimpse of your heart losing by
From the start, no return
And things will never be the same
I feel I'm falling apart 'cause I know I've lost my guardian angel
A fleeting glimpse of your heart losing by
From the start, no return
Try to find the words that show I sympathize
Words of comfort. Words that never criticize
Though I know you simply laughing at me
I just can't stop and simply let it be
Where are all those feelin's of my yesterdays
Feelings now I have bring back those bad ole ways
Though I know you want to turn and blow
I just can't stop and simply let you go
I feel I'm falling apart 'cause I know I've lost my guardian angel
A fleeting glimpse of your heart losing by
From the start, no return
And things will never be the same
Let me see you smile once more that special way
Warm as summer on a chilly winter's day
Though I know you're simply laughing at me
I just can't stop and simply let it be
I feel I'm falling apart 'cause I know I've lost my guardian angel
A fleeting glimpse of your heart losing by
From the start, no return
And things will never be the same
I feel I'm falling apart "cause I know I've lost my guardian angel
A fleeting glimpse of your heart losing by
From the start, no return
And things will never be the same
