Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I’m alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
I let it fall, my heart
And as it fell, you rose to claim it
It was dark and I was over
Until you kissed my lips and you saved me
My hands, they’re strong
But my knees were far too weak
To stand in your arms
Without falling to your feet
I heard that you’re settled down
That you found a girl and you’re married now
I heard that your dreams came true
Guess she gave you things I didn’t give to you
Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain’t like you to hold back or hide from the light
Never woulda hitch hiked to Birmingham
if it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda caught the train to Louisian’
if it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda run through the blindin’ rain
without one dollar to my name
if it hadn’t been
if it hadn’t been for love
Never woulda seen the trouble that i’m in
if it hadn’t been for love
Woulda been gone like a wayward wind
if it hadn’t been for love
Nobody knows it better than me
I wouldn’t be wishing I was free
if it hadn’t been
if it hadn’t been for love
There’s a fire starting in my heart,
Reaching a fever pitch and it’s bring me out the dark,
Finally, I can see you crystal clear,
Go ahead and sell me out and I’ll lay your sheet bare,
See how I’ll leave with every piece of you,
Don’t underestimate the things that I will do,
Right under my feet there’s air made of bricks
Pulls me down turns me weak for you
I find myself repeating like a broken tune
And I’m forever excusing your intentions
And I give in to my pretendings
Which forgive you each time
Without me knowing
They melt my heart to stone
When the rain is blowing in your face,
And the whole world is on your case,
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love.
So little to say but so much time,
Despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind.
Please wear the face, the one where you smile,
Because you lighten up my heart when I start to cry.
Wait, do you see my heart on my sleeve?
It’s been there for days on end and
It’s been waiting for you to open up
Just you baby, come on now
I’m trying to tell you just how
I’d like to hear the words roll out of your mouth finally
Say that it’s always been me
Found myself today singing out your name,
You said I’m crazy,
If I am I’m crazy for you.
Sometimes sitting in the dark wishing you were here
Turns me crazy,
But it’s you who makes me lose my head.
I’ve been walking in the same way as I did
Missing out the cracks in the pavement
And tutting my heel and strutting my feet
"Is there anything I can do for you dear? Is there anyone I can call?"
"No and thank you, please Madam. I ain’t lost, just wandering"
I’ve made up my mind,
Don’t need to think it over
If I’m wrong, I am right
Don’t need to look no further,
This ain’t lust
I know this is love
But, if I tell the world
I’ll never say enough
Cos it was not said to you
And that’s exactly what I need to do
If I end up with you
