Would you and I build castles high up in the sky
And watch them tumble down
Could ev'ry dream we've known
End with the first winds blown

Could other lips and other eyes
Fill ev'ry dream of paradise I've found
You say we have to part
How could you break my heart

You mean we're through
How can you say we're through
The way I cared for you
You've been the only one, sweetheart

Through, the showers we've been through
Had happy hours, too
I don't believe you mean to grieve me
Ever leave me

Blue, the world would seem so blue
The way I worship you
I never dreamed that we could part

Through, oh, take me in your arms 
And love me as you used to do
Don't ever say we're through

Through, how can you say we're through
The way I cared for you
You've been the only one, sweetheart

Through, the showers we've been through
Had happy hours, too
I don't believe you mean to grieve me
Ever leave me

Blue, oh, the world would seem so blue
The way I worship you
I never dreamed that we could part

Through, I can't believe your lips say
What your heart wants you to do
Don't ever say we're through
