When I had you   I was as high as a man can be   You put joy in my heart   My life with you was a beautiful dream   When you said goodbye   I've never known such hurt   Baby, lovin' you was   The blessing and the curse   Lovin' you was   The blessing and the curse      When we made love   I felt a passion I can't describe   When you laid with me   I was so totally alive   When you walked away   You took my universe   Baby, lovin' you was   The blessing and the curse   Lovin' you was   The blessing and the curse      The blessing and the curse   It's my fate to walk this earth   Always loving you and regretting you   Always wanting you, never forgetting you   Never forgetting you      Baby, I ain't ashamed   To say you brought me down to my knees   From the mountain top   Down to the deepest, darkest sea   Where I still long for you   With a never ending thirst   Baby, lovin' you was   The blessing and the curse   Lovin' you was   The blessing and the curse      The blessing and the curse.
