I sat looking at you not saying a word / There was nothing left to say / And I knew you could feel the pain in my heart / See the bitterness on my face / Then you suddenly rose to walk out of the room / And as you passed by me I prayed / That you’d tenderly rest your hand on my arm / In a single, warm embrace / Yes you’re such a good man, don’t want to deceive / You need to be true / When you don’t feel the love you can’t make believe / There was nothing that I could do / But as you walked by almost touching my hair / My silence was screaming for grace / But you didn't rest your hand on my arm / In a single warm embrace // And I never will forget it / And I never will forgive it / And I never will forgive you all my life / No I never can forget it / And I never will forgive it all my life // You were all of my life, but I wasn’t in yours / Just a picture on the wall / Allowing me only to give you my love / Without mercy, you took it all / But I never asked any mercy of you / Just for one little act of grace / I needed to feel, was aching to feel / A single warm embrace // And I never will forget it... // And here I am now alone with the thought / Of that moment filled with pain / Knowing how barren and poor is your heart / Your beauty empty and vain / But in spite of it all I mourn for that love / Whenever I hear your name / Still yearning to feel your hand on my arm / In a single warm embrace // And I never will forget it...
