Lyrics
CONSTANTLY
Constantly,
that's how often you're here with me,
crowdin' in my memory,
cloudin' up my eyes...
Now and then,
seems like I may try again.
Someone else might just pretend,
but I'm not that wise.
You were the answer to a prayer I never said.
Your smile turned my head - one day.
But in the fight between my mind and my poor heart,
your love was the prize that got away.
Privately,
I'm the prisoner of fantasy,
dwelling on what couldn't be
trying to act like me - Constantly.
Instrumental verse 2.
You were the answer to a prayer I never said.
Your smile turned my head - one day.
But in the fight between my mind and my poor heart,
your love was the prize that got away.
Privately,
I'm the victim of fantasy,
dwelling on what couldn't be
trying to act like me - - -.
The only time I miss you now is Constantly.
Con - stant - ly.
