Between You and Me

It's the same song I sing everyday,
a sad tune that won't go away;
the words and the melody stay,
a painful price I now pay
for love that got lost halfway
   between you and me.

I can't say when the music died.
I woke one day and tried
to renew that feeling inside,
but no matter how I lied
the distance was just too wide
   between you and me.

I don't know how to make it right,
how to fan a spark to light,
how to know if we just might
be more than casually polite
and rediscover love's delight
   between you and me.

Maybe it's time to just move on,
learn the words to a new love song;
admit that somehow we both were wrong
laugh and say we'll have to be strong
then quietly weep for love that went wrong
   between you and me.
