lyrics

There was a time
When you had a place for me in your soul
Did it burn like fire
With hurtful hands when I tried to hold

But, ooo, darling
You've got a lot to think about these days
And when the lights comes down to shine upon you
Don't you know that hurt will fade away

I just want to get you back and hold your hands to my heart
I want to feel that something special like we had at the start
I think you know me well enough to know I'm down on my knees
If your smile faded because of me

There was a night
When I fell a million miles in your eyes
And it felt so right
To tell you all that I'd realized

But, ooo, darling
You've got a lot to think about these days
And when the lights comes down to shine upon you
Don't you know that hurt will fade away

I just want to get you back and hold your hands to my heart
I want to feel that something special like we had at the start
I think you know me well enough to know I'm down on my knees
If your smile faded because of me

But, ooo, darling
You've got a lot to think about these days
And when the lights comes down to shine upon you
Don't you know that hurt will fade away
Away

I just want to get you back and hold your hands to my heart
I want to feel that something special like we had at the start
I think you know me well enough to know I'm down on my knees
If your smile faded because of me

I just want to get you back and hold your hands to my heart
I want to feel that something special like we had at the start
I think you know me well enough to know I'm down on my knees
If your smile faded because of me
