The Dress
The shaking in my hands
Will it ever quit?
I'm near the door
I just have to open it
Will you recognise my face
When you see me in the light?
If you feel out of place
Maybe this could make it right
I could wear the dress you used to know
When my innocence was not for show
If I could punch a hole through time
I'd put back every star
I've lost the heart to shine because I let you down
Telephones have a way of changing lives
When I heard your voice
I sat there paralysed
Then a picture gripped my mind
The tears could not erase
What tonight will find
I don't know but just in case
I could wear the dress
You used to know
When my innocence
Was not for show
If I could punch a hole through time
I'd put back every star
I've lost the heart to shine
Because I let you go
And now you're just on the other side
And I'm so scared I just wanna run and hide
I don't know what I will say to you
But darling I know something that will give you a clue
I could wear the dress
You used to know
When my innocence
Was not for show
If I could punch a hole through time
I'd put back every star
I've lost the heart to shine
Because I let you go
