The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What can I say ?
He's a-walking away
From what we've seen.
What can I do
Still loving you ?
It's all a dream.
How can we hang on to a dream,
How can it really be the way it seems ?
What can I do ?
He's a-saying we're through
Without a word.
What can I try ?
I still don't see why
He says what he does.
How can we hang on to a dream,
How can it really be the way it seems ?
What can I say ?
He's a-walking away
From what we've seen.
What can I do
Still loving you ?
It's all a dream.
How can we hang on to a dream,
How can it really be the way it seems ?
How can we hang on to a dream,
How can it really be the way it seems ?
