Just Like Titanic I was at a dying end
I had fallen in love with the wrong kind of man
But I couldn't turn back
'Cos I entered this circle that would never end
But there he was
My guardian angel, shining ever so bright
My prince charming, my gallant knight
It was a truly beautiful sight

He took my hand
And led me along in life
He had come to save me
From the cold sea so deep, from my insecurities

We fell in love
I truly loved him
I accepted him for who he was
I learnt things which I never knew

It was through him I developed true love
It was all a beautiful fantasy
I felt just like I was flying
The feeling was true as can be

We talked, we danced
We had a wonderful time
A most memorable one
A memory that can never be erased from my mind

There was nothing to hide from him
Not even secrets, not my affection
There was this burning passion deep within me
In my heart, my body, my soul, there was this yearning inside me

I let go of the other guy
I managed to find real happiness
I was beginning to once again see the light
One so lovely, one so bright

Times were beautiful
I would give up anything just to be with him
I didn't bother about material needs
His down-to-earthness - that's one special thing about him

"You jump, I jump"
It was a "Beautiful thing"
Growing up together
Loving each other forever
Then disaster came
Our dreamboat was sinking
Things didn't quite turn out as I was thinking
All the while I had been dreaming
I held on to the end
Never wanted to let go of his hand
I thought nothing and no one could tear us apart
But I was wrong - we didn't get to live the rest of our lives as one

It was all horror
He was being taken away from me
His life was draining
But that I did not see

He wanted the best for me
Wanted to keep me alive
To let me stay afloat
Instead of sinking in deeper and deeper with time

When his flame had stopped burning
And his passion had died
All that was left was an empty cold body
And a crying heart of mine

I didn't want to be saved
I just wanted to stay by his side
Even if his heart had stopped beating and his blood had stopped flowing.
My side of the burning passion, would never die

But there he was, that light of his fading away
As he told me to promise him
That I would carry on
That I will go on - he made me say

He wanted me to live on
And still live a beautiful life
Even without his love
Even without him by my side

I was so afraid of losing him
I never wanted to let go
I wanted to die along with his flame
To leave the sadness behind and, in a new world, start again

I didn't want to seek help
Even if he were to sink, I wanted to sink with him
I wanted to live with him
But since he was dead, all I could think of was dying

But because of my promise to him
Just like all the other promises to him I've always kept
I had to pull myself up, save myself and be strong
And let my heart go on

I let go of his grip
His body was all cold, no more emotions flowed
I called out for help
My chance to continue living - I was now not going to let it go

His body immediately sank
That was the last I saw of him
All of him that I had with me
Were only beautiful memories

He gave me courage
He gave me strength
He was the one who pulled me up
When I was close to death

But now all that's left of our dreamboat
Is a wreck
With all the things that brought back memories
It sank together with all my dreams

And even if through all this I survive
And even though he'll never be mine
He'll always remain in my heart
To me, nothing could ever tear us apart...

I watched the movie Titanic
And lots of things went on in my mind
All that could have been
All my shattered dreams

I could have watched it with him
Could have cried and laughed with him
To take his hand and hold it
And carry on holding even after the end of the movie, after the end of the theme

We could have travelled together on a ship
To 'fly' just like they did in Titanic
To dance just like we danced before
To sing the songs we loved to sing

And when it was a starry night
We could go out on the deck
Hold each other tight
Hum to "Dream a little dream" and dance under the moonlight

All that could have been
When our dreamboat was still sailing
When the course was smooth
And no there were no obstacles that proved endangering

I had so many plans and dreams
So many things to do together after we disembarked
So many hopes and fantasies
But the unexpected took over it - it seems

Now the ship has sunk
Sitting at the bed of the sea
Under all that depth and pressure
It was never going to float, never going to ride again
