You could tell she loved him the way he was   You could see he’d changed and that something was lost   But she could live off memories   (All in colour)   She could live off dreams   (They were almost too real)   Still, as a best kept secret   She told her diary   She was to let him go      Wipe away those tears   You’ve been longing for this for years   Wipe away those tears   Yes, wipe away your tears now   You are for real now      She would lie awake alone four nights in a week   She could hear she looked well but needed some sleep   And she was feeling lonely   (She had her friends though)   She was feeling down   (It was hard to accept)   Still, as a word of comfort   She told her diary   She was NEW and NOW      Wipe away those tears   You’ve been longing for this for years   Wipe away those tears   Yes, wipe away your tears now      There’s only now   There’s only now      Wipe away those tears   You’ve been longing for this for years   Wipe away those tears   Yes, wipe away your tears now   You are for real now
