when Butterflies Dream of Tomorrow

Where it has to Stay

Where it has to Stay

I remember back when we were much younger

You were just a little girl in my eyes

Those four years between us seemed much longer

I remember the day, I told you goodbye

You told me that you had always loved me

Told me you dreamed of being in my arms

Through tearful eyes said you hoped we would marry

I said I loved you too

But dreams just don't come true

The love I feel for you

Is like a big brother's

I just don't look at you that way

You will always have a 

Place in my heart

I'm sorry but that where it has to stay

The years have passed, just flew on by me

A trail of broken hearts, I left behind

And every now and then, I think about you

Your memory forever, in my mind

So I looked you up, to ease my curiosity

You said you would meet me at a local bar

When I saw you, such a beautiful woman

My heart ached for you

I knew what I had to do

We talked about the past

Relationships that didn't last

How we both were searching for

The one we could adore

I was reading all the signs

Thought I knew what was on your mind

I fell in love with you

I thought that you had too

Until you held my hand and said

The love I feel for you

Is like my big brother

I no longer look at you that way

You will always have a 

Place in my heart

I'm sorry but that's where it has to stay

Just because

It's a love that never was
