Saw an old friend yesterday
|
Who's a big success
|
Got a bentley and a rolex
|
And a gucci dress
|
Got the guys all lined up waitin
|
For her to pull their string
|
And she told me all about
|
Her latest hot sweet thing
|
|
She's got everything a girl could ever want or need
|
All that money can afford
|
But there's still a voice inside that keeps crying out
|
For something more
|
|
Something emotional
|
Something that's beautiful
|
Something that stands the test of time
|
Why are the simple things so hard to find
|
Something emotional
|
Something that's wonderful
|
Something that lifts us high above
|
Here we are waiting to be saved by love
|
|
Just to wake up in the morning
|
To a familiar face
|
Conversation over coffee
|
To start my day
|
I pick up the phone
|
And dial to see if mum's around
|
Wouldn't mind just droppin by
|
For a visit now
|
|
I could travel round the world, write my name in the sky
|
Make my dreams come true
|
But it wouldn't mean a thing if i didn't know that i
|
Could come home to
|
|
Chorus
|
|
And i long someday
|
To have children of my own
|
To share those precious moments
|
To know you're not alone
|
To be as good as my mother
|
Was to me in my younger years
|
The laughter, the fights, the tears
|
