lyrics

DEAR TO ME

The night I met you
We boarded a subway train
A twenty minute ride
To the place where you were staying

You leaned in close
Your face next to mine
Your breath was warm
Smelled like smoke and wine

Battery Park
A building made of glass
We rode up in the elevator so fast
I didn't realize how far you would take me
But a night has consequences you can't foresee

You will be always dear to me
You will be always dear
You will be always dear to me
You will be always dear

One night turned to three, turned to four
You left your feather earring on my floor
You left strands of your hair in my bed
And on my pillow, the shape of your head

Still I thought, I was only passing through
A tourist taking pictures of the view
And when I said goodbye, it felt like I was free
But the nights have consequences you can't foresee

You will be always dear to me
You will be always dear
You will be always dear to me
You will be always dear

Some days go slow
The rain goes pouring down
Down
Some days I know
Why I let you go
Some days I don't

When it was over
You boarded a westbound plane
Said you couldn't take
A New York winter again

I turned the covers over
Ready to start anew
I didn't realize the things my heart would do

'Cause you left your feather earring in my bed
And on my pillow, the shape of your head
I didn't realize how far you'd taken me
But love has consequences you can't foresee

You will be always dear to me
You will be always dear
You will be always dear to me
You will be always dear

Always dear
(Some days I can't let you go)
Always dear
(Some days I can't let you go)
Always dear
(Some days I can't let you go)
