I watch your lips moving
|
I see the words taking shape
|
But love's like a language
|
I cannot translate
|
I can't afford to be careless
|
And let you in
|
I turn my head for one minute
|
And lose everything
|
|
Wish I had someone whom I could lean
|
Cause everybody's always counting on me
|
With my hands held real tight
|
Always ready to fight
|
For the few pieces of joy I have now
|
You have turned on a light
|
And I've lost my sight
|
But my heart still remembers the sound
|
Of a dream of a love one day found
|
Of a dream of a love one day found
|
So don't let me down
|
|
Your past it may be rocky
|
But your present is clear
|
My present situation
|
Is the sum of all my fears
|
I take responsibility for the few things I done right
|
But I got so much on my plate
|
I'm scared to take another bite
|
Wish I had someone on whom I could lean
|
Still I don't want no one's charity
|
|
With my hands held real tight
|
Always ready to fight
|
For the few pieces of joy I have now
|
You have turned on a light
|
And I've lost my sight
|
But my heart still remembers the sound
|
Of a dream of a love one day found
|
|
Heartbreak and bullets can try
|
To steal any good from my life
|
Fathers and lovers have lied
|
Rivers have flowed from my eyes
|
Never seen love face to face
|
Just seen it walking away
|
Why would you think I would recognize
|
Something that's never been mine
|
|
You have turned on a light
|
And I've lost my sight
|
But my heart still remembers the sound
|
Of a dream of a love one day found
|
You're the dream of a love one day found
|
And the freedom from what kept me bound
|
And a promise of staying around
|
My eyes may not work for me now
|
But my heart sure remembers the sound
|
So if you saying it
|
Please say it loud
|
And don't let me down
|
