\tWhile no one was watching, something was lost [1]
\n\tWith a start I realized you were gone, and only memories remained
\n\tIn this restless time, I can hear voiceless cries
\n\tas if made by dolls who had lost the power of speech,
\n\tor stray cats spilling onto the street corners<\/p>\n

\tIf I ever meet you again
\n\tI just want you to know one thing     thank you     thank you [2]<\/p>\n

\tThough it hurts sometimes, I want to feel your presence
\n\tThe memories are a little solace     so you are always here<\/p>\n

\tIf I ever meet you again
\n\tI just want you to know one thing     thank you     thank you [2]<\/p>\n

\tIf I ever meet you again
\n\tI just want you to know one thing
\n\tIf I ever meet you again
\n\tI just want you to know one thing     thank you     thank you [2]<\/p>\n

\tThough it hurts sometimes, I want to feel your presence<\/p>\n\n<\/div>
