i open my arms to hold you
you turn away you turn away
i feel it just like i told you
how can you turn away
the things that we said last saturday night
you turn away you turn away
now you want to throw that away
how can you turn away
bridge
it was true love it was you and me
and the sliver moon and the shining sea]
it was new but it felt to me
just like love was suppsosed to be
finally
and now your eyes won't meet mine
you turn away you turn away
i never want to taste that sweet wine again
how can you turn away
bridge
and after this love i'm keeping for you
you turn away you turn away
i never want to taste that sweet wine again
how can you turn away
bridge
and after this love i'm keeping for you
you turn away you turn away
i'll dry these tears that i'm weeping for you
and take my turn to turn away yeah
