Already Gone

Hold me to your beating heart,
Strong and unafraid
Hold me for the world to see
That you are mine always

Put your hands around my waist
And lift me so I fly
On this stage, the only place
My name will never die

And as the loving beats subside
And rythms stop our dance
We smile for our ovation and
Accept it hand in hand

But as the curtain shuts its jaw
And darkness fills the stage
I can feel you slip away
And my feelings shut their cage

Why could not we have danced this way
When we were still in love?
I guess that ghostly laugh I hear
Is cupid from above

You and I have played his game
And as for now, we've lost
Even though I know that there's
Much more to you than frost

Perhaps my mind wants me to think
Sometimes you stare too long
Sometimes you lift me longer.
To show that you are strong?

I'm sure I'm just imagining,
Revinding in my head
All those times you looked at me,
All those things you've said

But I guess that what I'm saying is,
Slowly, I'll move on
'Cause you're not there to catch me
'Cause you're already gone.
