[Verse 1]
Sweet, sweet bitter love
The taste still lingers
Go through my helpless fingers
You slipped away

[Verse 2]
Sweet, sweet bitter love
What joy you brought me
And what pain you taught me
And so short a stay

[Bridge]
My magic dreams
Have lost their spell
Where there was hope
There's just an empty shell

[Verse 3]
Sweet, sweet bitter love
Why have you awakened
And then forsakened
A trusting heart like mine?

[Bridge]
My magic dreams
Have lost their spell
And where there was hope
There's just an empty shell
[Verse 3]
Sweet, sweet bitter love
What joy, what joy you brought me
And what pain you taught me
And so short a stay

[Outro]
Sweet bitter love
Why, why have you awakened
And then forsakened
A trusting heart, a trusting heart like mine?
