Elaine

I can't believe after all these years
you’re still haunting my dreams
you always saw me as something else
but nothing's as it seems

So I'm waking up from time to time
with your smile fading away
locked inside these aches of sleep these dreams are where you'll stay

But I guess I never wanted someone
quite the same as you
to want someone oh for so long
and never see it through

And I get shivers down my spine
when I remember how you move
and of all the things I've lost along the way the worst was you

Elaine,
now you’re haunting me again
always thought that I was such a good friend
guess every story has an end

So it's on with the day
the dream will fade and I'll forget
the way I never was to you
and lose all this regret

And I'll look for you inside
of this other new girl's eyes
and I know I'll still wake up dreaming of you from time to time

Elaine,
now you’re haunting me again
always thought that I was such a good friend
guess every story has an end

I saw you out the other night
at a party with some friends
looking oh so happy girl
your beauty never ends
and I thought for just one moment
and the hope in my heart grew
and then I saw your man
standing right there right next to you
and I knew in that one moment
I would never be with you

Elaine,
now you’re haunting me again
always thought that I was such a good friend
guess every story has an end
