The Czars

Strange how you've stopped loving me
how you've stopped needing me,
since she came along, oh, how strange

Strange, you changed like night and day
Just up and walked away
when she came along, oh, how strange

Well, I guess that I was just your puppet
you held on a string
to think I thought you really loved me
but look what thoughts can bring

Strange, you're still in all my dreams
oh, what a funny thing
I still care for you, oh, how strange

You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the Blues
Until you've loved a love you had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Lilacs and tiger-lilies
Won't be enough for me when you're gone
Hollyhocks, gladiolas
Could never replace your face
In your little pink house
With the blue polka-dots
I learned what I was
And what I was not
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be

Bleeding heart, lily-of-the-valley
Snapdragon, rambling rose
You'll never make it in this world
If you're not one of those

In your little pink house
With the blue polka-dots
I learned what I was
And what I was not
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be
Supposed to be

Diadem, orange sensation
Diorama, bell canto
Baby-Lune, and princess too
But you were the one I chose

What a dream l had
Pressed in organdy Clothed in
crinoline of smoky Burgundy
Softer than the rain
I wandered empty streets
Down past the shop displays
I heard cathedral bells
Tripping down the alley ways
As I walked on
And when you ran to me
Your cheeks flushed with the night
We walked on frosted fields of
juniper and lamplight
I held your hand

And when I a woke and saw you
warm and near I kissed your honey
hair with my grateful tears
Oh I love you girl
I love you I love you

Last night I was taking a walk along the river
When I saw him together with a young boy
And the look that he gave made me shiver
'Cause he always used to look at me that way
And I thought maybe
I should walk right up to him and say
Ahhaha, it's a game he likes to play
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart
and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out
he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep
into those angel eyes
Oh no no no no
Sometimes when I'm lonely
I sit and think about him
And it hurts to remember all the good times
When I thought I could never live without him
And I wonder does it have to be the same
Ahhaha, when I see him,
will it bring back all the pain?
Ahhaha, how can I forget that name?
Look into his angel eyes
One look and you're hypnotized
He'll take your heart
and you must pay the price
Look into his angel eyes
You'll think you're in paradise
And one day you'll find out
he wears a disguise
Don't look too deep into those angel eyes
no no no no no

You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the Blues
Until you've loved a love you had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Strange how you've stopped loving me
how you've stopped needing me,
since she came along, oh, how strange

Strange, you changed like night and day
Just up and walked away
when she came along, oh, how strange

Well, I guess that I was just your puppet
you held on a string
to think I thought you really loved me
but look what thoughts can bring

Strange, you're still in all my dreams
oh, what a funny thing
I still care for you, oh, how strange

Long afloat, on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving to your aisle

and you sang
sail to me
sail to me, let me enfold you

here I am, here I am
waiting to hold you

did I dream, you dreamt about me
were you hare, when I was fox
now my foolish boat, is leaning
broken lovelorn on you rocks

for you sing, touch me not
touch me not, come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
shy's from the sorrow

I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
should I stand amid the breakers
or should I lie with death my bride
hear me sing
swim to me
swim to me
let me enfold you

here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you

Long afloat, on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving to your aisle

and you sang
sail to me
sail to me, let me enfold you

here I am, here I am
waiting to hold you

did I dream, you dreamt about me
were you hare, when I was fox
now my foolish boat, is leaning
broken lovelorn on you rocks

for you sing, touch me not
touch me not, come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
shy's from the sorrow

I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
should I stand amid the breakers
or should I lie with death my bride
hear me sing
swim to me
swim to me
let me enfold you

here I am, here I am, waiting to hold you

I'm waiting over here
Just to see you
My love
For the last time
Goodbye
I love to see you fade and die
I love to see you kicking
Screaming as you try to reach the sky
Goodbye
I love to see you fade and die
I love to see you kicking
Screaming as you try to reach the sky to fly
I'm begging you tonight
I want to free you
My love
Just one last time forever
Maybe we can change
We always seem to fall again
We are still alive
We have to give up everything and die
And all I want is you
And so it's over now
And I have loved you with my life, but this is the last time
