Lyrics for All Too Soon

All too soon We had to part The moment you had touched my heart And with you went my dream All too soon All too sweet Was our affair And you put all the sweetness there What a shame that it's gone All too soon I knew the strange delights That only you in love could bring And as I reached the heights The bottom fell from everything You should know as well as I Our love deserves another try For we whispered goodbye All too soon Too soon
