[Verse 1]
I feel the trembling tingle of a sleepless night
Creep through my fingers, and the moon is bright
Beams of blue come flickering through my windowpane
Like gypsy moths that dance around a candle flame
[Chorus]
And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I never thought you would
[Verse 2]
Moonlight used to bathe the contours of your face
While chestnut hair fell all around the pillowcase
And the fragrance of your flowers rest beneath my head
A sympathy bouquet left with a love that's dead
[Chorus]
And I wonder if you know
That I nеver understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I nevеr thought you would
[Bridge]
Never thought the words you said were true
Never thought you said just what you meant
Never knew how much I needed you
Never thought you'd leave, until you went
[Verse 3]
Morning comes and morning goes with no regret
The evening brings the memories I can't forget
Empty rooms that echo as I climb the stairs
Empty clothes that drape and fall on empty chairs
[Chorus]
And I wonder if you know
That I never understood
That although you said you'd go
Until you did, I never thought you would
