The other night I had a dream
That he was lying here with me
He gently touched
upon my face
And ran his fingers
through my hair
But that was only but a dream
He has found somebody new
He does not think
about my love
It was I who broke
his heart in two
'Cause he'll never know
Just how much I love him
He'll never know
Just how much I care
My love will linger on
My love will linger on
I thought I saw him yesterday
Walking down Grafton street
But that was just another man
My eyes were playing
tricks on me
It's been a year and still I can't
forget about the way it felt
When he wrapped his arms
around my waist
And softly whispered
in my ears
'Cause he'll never know
Just how much I love him
He'll never know
Just how much I care
My love will linger on
My love will linger on
I go to the moon and back
I gave him everything I had
To make him feel the way I do
ohhhh
See I finally understand
What it is to love a man
Ohhh such a bittersweet
romance
He'll never know
Just how much I love him
He'll never know
Just how much I care
My love will linger on
My love will linger on
Said he'll never know
Just how much I love him
I love him I love him
Said he'll never know
Just how much I care
No no
Said my love will linger on
On and on
My love will linger on
My love will linger on
My love will linger on
