Sweet present, what do you bring to me? Boxes dressed in ribbons of illusion I see Long embraces I don't know how to part Touches that live where the body isn't Don't fade away now, I beg you in vain Let me stay living inside this frame Before today turns into yesterday And slips away before I know what I gave So bring me back Bring me back Give me what time has taken from me I need you Just a little more Bring me back Even if it hurts Even if there's no after to see I need you Just a little more My kisses used to heal your pain My voice would rock you into sleep again Now I speak alone to these empty walls And the echo answers every call Time doesn't know how to replay What we were without knowing the way So give me the remnants of what we had Even if it's little, just enough to last Sweet present, don't treat me this way I gave you all that lived in me My life, my soul, my now, my days What's left are memories standing still of you I had it all and never knew I held the sweetness but couldn't feel it through Today I'd give my whole life through For one small moment Of the life I knew So bring me back Bring me back Give me what faded away I need you Just a little more Bring me back Even in dreams Even if it's only me I need you Just a little more
