I came so close to paradise The feelings were so true You cried for me to come home Now, I was crying too We said so many things in anger There seems little left to do Than put the pen to paper I can't write good-bye to you I didn't mean to wake up From the dream that was my life I didn't mean to wake up I can't stop the changes now When you wake up in the morning Don't look for me, I'll be gone There's a letter on the table With best regards from John I didn't mean to wake up From the dream that was my life I didn't mean to wake up I can't stop the changes now I came so close to paradise The feelings were so true You cried for me to come home Now I'm crying too I didn't mean to wake up From the dream that was my life I didn't mean to wake up I can't stop the changes now
