And this is a picture of Dan and Maggie

Once I loved you and you loved me
We believed our souls were meant to breathe as one
And could never come undone again

And once I believed that you and I
Were the two that would defy the fickle gods
And win out against the odds and go on forevermore

But now that your heart has turned away
I must try to find a way to let you go
Even though I know you will never leave me

Cause you were my life's one great romance
And I will always see you dancing through my dreams
And as hopeless as it seems, I will always love you

And now if you think we've said it all
Let the final curtain fall on us at last
And just put it in the past and say our last farewell

~~~ Dan Fogelberg ~~~
