Great love of my life, how I feel you here beside me
Watching the clouds turn red at the close of day
And you know I think about you
As the sun goes down and you're far away
Great love of my life, I see your face before me
As the day goes fading into night
And it's all that I can do
Not to want you here beside me in the firelight
Great love of my life, you know it isn't easy
Saying goodbye to the good times that we knew
The hard times came and took us
Where we never thought we'd go and left us broken, me and you
Great love of my life, the flames are leaping higher
Talking to me in the quiet, empty room
So happy and so sad
With the twisted pain of love that left too soon
Remember the time we stood laughing like small children caught in the rain
And they took our photograph
With our arms around each other and our eyes on fire
Looking out at the rain running off our hats
Great love of my life, the first time that we touched we were so hungry
It took us by surprise
And it never changed all the years we were as one
We tasted it all, we paid the price and we paid the price
