Did I upset the applecart, Elizabeth?
Steal a beat from your lonely heart, Elizabeth?
But life's got a funny way
Of creeping up on me
And pointing out the beauty
In things I no longer see
Wakes me from the dreams that I
Have dreamed so carelessly
Without you those dreams
Mean nothing to me
Oh Elizabeth, all I have to know
Is why you had to go away
Oh Elizabeth, all I have to know
Is why you had to go away
Did I catch you sleeping, Elizabeth?
Take your breath while you were dreaming, Elizabeth?
My life's got a funny way
Of creeping up on me
And pointing out the beauty
In things I no longer see
Wakes me from the dreams that I
Have dreamed so carelessly
Without you my dreams
Mean nothing to me
Oh Elizabeth, all I have to know
Is why you had to go away
Oh Elizabeth, all I have to know
Is why you had to go away
Just because I don't understand
It doesn't mean it isn't so
Just because I don't understand
It doesn't make it less true, now, Elizabeth
Oh Elizabeth, all I have to know
Is why you had to go away
Oh Elizabeth, all I have to know
Is why you had to go away
My Elizabeth
My Elizabeth
