LYRICS

So long - so long it seems
Hold on - to hold on to a dream
Don't hear the words they say
Don't let them turn you away, just

Keep the fire burning
Keep your love alive
'Cause when the world stops turning around
Love will survive

All alone, knowing that my heart will find you someday
You never stopped believing
Never hear the words they say
Never throw your love away, just

I wish there was some way I could have known where I belong
I'm sorry that I made you wait so long

Seems like only yesterday, I was feeling fine
Just living in the past, like I was left behind
I had it all together, baby
I didn't want to change my mind

But now I'm so confused, I don't know what to do
My world is turning upside-down, and all because of you
If you want to help me make up my mind today
All you've got to do is find a way

To get a little bit closer - closer to me
Get a little bit closer - why can't you be
Just a little bit closer - closer to me?

Seems like only yesterday, I didn't care what tomorrow would bring
'Cause you know that yesterday was the only song I could sing
But I might sing a new song today, if you could only find a way

The smile on my face may seem brand new
But it's long overdue
Seems like forever, I've been waiting
For someone just like you, my friend
To come and mend

This broken heart - seems like such a long, long time ago
This broken heart - since this broken heart was whole
I was so afraid that it could never be restored
But thanks to you, this heart ain't broken anymore

These eyes may seem dry
I've kept the tears inside
Locked away forever, I've been hiding
The tears I've never cried in me
Or could you see?

When you look into my eyes
Can you tell me what I'm feeling inside?
When you hear my song
Do you sing along?

Do you see the sights I see, living so deep inside of me?
Do you hear the voice I hear whispering in my ear?
It tells me

Never hurt you, never desert you, stand by you 'till the end
Never erase you, never replace you, you're my best friend

I've been searching high and low
So many faces come and go
But you're the only one
Who's been here all along

Wondering as the years go by, isn't it time we gave love a try?
Knowing that our hearts will bring so many songs to sing

Lay me down / it's been a long, long day
Close my eyes, leave the world behind and sail away
Got to take it easy / throw my cares away

Oh, baby, don't you make a sound
Just come a little closer, and I'll be o.k.
Oh, baby, won't you trickle down
Like cool, cool water on a sunny day

Feelin' lazy / all I wanna do
Is clear my mind and spend some time with no one else but you
Got to take it easy / nothin' else will do

Cool, cool water, raining down on me

I can feel you out there, somewhere, miles away from me
And I know that miles away ain't where you want to be
Don't you know that hearts are something miles can't come between?
'Cause when you went away, you left your heart right here with me

Won't you take my hand? / reach out across the land
You might think you can't, but I know you can

Reach out and touch me, baby - don't be afraid
I can feel your heartbeat from a thousand miles away
Reach out and say the words I know you want to say
I can hear you whisper from a thousand miles away

If you feel like there's nothing you can do
Just close your eyes, and I will be there next to you
I'll meet you in my dreams, I know you'll be there, too
I can feel you dreaming me when I'm dreaming you

Father time will tick away, don't let him take his toll
Don't let him take away the way we felt so long ago

You've been driving down a long and lonely road, like you've got nowhere to go
Searching high and low
You've been trying to find your way, trying to find a place to call your home
Well, baby don't you know

You might take a wrong turn on the way to heaven, if you can't read the signs
What've I gotta do to make you realize?
You can play your game with me, but you won't win the prize
Until you learn to see what's right before your eyes

Can you see the sunshine, or do you close your eyes all day?
Don't close your eyes on me
If a blind man can find his way, why can't you hear the words I say?
I'm trying to make you see

You're trying to find the key / you're looking right through me
So why can't you see what's right before your eyes

I sang my song for you, but now it's just another song
Can't find the music in my heart for you - it's all gone
Words that were a part of me, music from the heart of me
I can't sing anymore, it don't mean a thing anymore
This time, I've really closed the door
And I'm kicking all the dust from my shoes
It's time to sing to someone new
This is the last song
For you

I'm on my way today, tomorrow I'll be gone
Don't matter what you say, I've gotta be movin' on
Don't wanna see you crying, I don't wanna hear your lies
'Cause baby, I ain't buying the look in your eyes

I can't stay / I've gotta get away from you
I'm on my way / I've gotta get away

That's why I'm movin' on
I don't wanna waste my time on you
I've got a lot of living to do
That's why I'm movin', why I'm movin' on

Got a lot of road ahead, I can't stay here no more
Gotta spread my wings instead, I'm flying out the door
