Trying to vent the feelings inside my head is impossible for me to do tonight So I just keep you near caress you 'til my flight is here But when I tried to keep you awake you fell asleep at the airport of Nice I take it as an easy way of leaving you So I won't have to say the dreadful goodbyes But when I reach the gate I feel a sudden change of heart So I'll pass the flight and buy us a bottle of wine I'll buy myself some more time Don't stay awake I guess there will be some delay I'll be at least two days too late Now I know that France is too far away Though the time we shared was better than anything We can't ignore the fact it's all we'll ever have So I kiss you like I've never kissed you before And It's time for us to finally realise that we must move on with our lives Don't stay awake I guess there will be some delay... It's something that you said It's something that you did That's still a vital part of me today It's definitely something that you said It's something that you did That's still a vital part of me today It was years ago but I still can't help wondering What could have been in case I would have stayed You're still far away but I will never forget the day When I tried to keep you awake and you fell asleep at the airport of Nice
