Valentine's Day 2011 (Only Heaven Knows)

what do you do when it's all behind you
everyday something else reminds you
when the times were sweet
wings on your feet
and bells on you toes?
only heaven knows
what do you do when you've lost the feeling
nowhere to go you've reached the ceiling
back down on the floor
no window, no door?
your everything's closed
and only heaven knows

love is a treat
a magical feat
illusion or for real.
You're never quite sure
if it's true what you feel
or something that you felt before.
what do you do when you know you're losing
sit on your arse and let the blues in
think of what you had
and how it all went bad?
you send her a rose
and only heaven knows.

love is a treat
a magical feat
illusion or for real.
You're never quite sure
if it's true what you feel
or something that you felt before.
what do you do when its all behind you
everyday something else reminds you
when the times were sweet
wings on your feet
and bells on you toes?
only heaven knows
