I know I’m not the one who should be here –

 Here with you tonight

I am not the one you see when you close your eyes at night

I know I’m not the one whose name you cry

 When you are all alone

I’m not the one you long for when you are feeling cold

And the darkness of the night

Hides the tears you cry for him

And I know that you must leave

To chase the rainbows of your dreams

I know I’m not the one who should be here –

 Here with you tonight

I am not the one you see when you close your eyes at night

I know I’m not the one whose name you cry

 When you are all alone

I’m not the one you long for when you are feeling cold

And I hope that you will find

True love at the rainbow’s end

But more that this, I pray,

That I hope he treats you well

And I must stand and smile

When you walk out of my life

For I want you to believe

You can start a brand new dream

I know I’m not the one who should be here –

 Here with you tonight

I am not the one you see when you close your eyes at night

I know I’m not the one whose name you cry

 When you are all alone

I’m not the one you long for when you are feeling cold
