when love dies lyrics

When I saw you on the street
I almost turned away
When you stared in disbelief
Because I smiled and waved

Oh, the years have turned my bitterness
Into a sad regret
And it's good to finally talk to you
And lay our past to rest

'Cause I have changed and you have changed
And all is forgiven now
And a long and silent last embrace
Shows our respect somehow

But it's okay to cry a little
I know where it comes from
These tears of sadness and relief
When love dies in your arms

You were once my deepest pain
But you were once my friend
And a part of me was holding on
Till I saw you again

I couldn't bear to see it end
With rage and jealousy
A feeling once so beautiful
Should die with dignity

And I have changed and you have changed
And all is forgiven now
And a long and silent last embrace
Shows our respect somehow

But it's okay to cry a little
I know where it comes from
These tears of sadness and relief
When love dies in your arms
When love dies in your arms
