If ever a night was magic...
If ever a dream came true...
If ever a thing was meant to be;
It was for me to be with you.

If ever there was inspiration...
If ever two were one...
We are more than I've ever been;
I'm more than I ever was.

If ever there was irony...
If ever one was two...
If ever a thing has brought me strength;
It was the freedom I found in you.

If ever a night was magic
If ever a time was right...
Never was a love so tragic
as when it stole you from my sight.

I am more than I've ever known.
Forever you are a part of me.
If only I could learn my lesson.
The blind teach their kind to see.

If ever there was irony...
If ever there was fate...
One and one came out three;
I knew I called too late.
