When Love Slips Away

When Love Slips Away by Kathryn Cloward

I fell for you hard and fast
As I hoped our love would last
At the start it seemed it could
And every time we touched I would
Fall deeper and deeper for you
Through tears I shared my heart
As the distance tore us apart
I gave everything I had
I wanted us so bad
Because I oh I loved you

But now it seems
We both need different things
And there’s too much space between
With so much to say
Isn’t there another way
Before we let this love slip away

But the gap is wide
With you on the other side
While I’m holding on with hopeful pride
Because it was real
But I guess this is how it feels
When love slips away

Without you it feels so strange
There are dreams I need to rearrange
When did we let it all go wrong
Lonely nights feel just too long
Oh I yes I still love you

For a while we had it all
At the bay is where I started to fall
But it was working that took you away
And my love couldn’t make you stay
You had other things to do

And now it seems
We both need different things
And there’s too much space between
With so much to say
Isn’t there another way
Before we let this love slip away

But the gap is wide
With you on the other side
While I’m holding on with hopeful pride
Because it was real
But I guess this is how it feels
When love slips away

So yes it seems
We both need different things
And there’s too much space between
With so much to say
I wish there was another way
But I’ll have to let this love slip away

Because the gap is still wide
With you on the other side
While I’m left holding on with hopeful pride
Because it was real
And I can’t stand how this feels
When love slips away
