So long as I travel
these bumpy roads aside you,
I give up everything not worth it,
'till I've finally made it through.
You took me by the hand
like it was something I needed,
got me thinking it was real,
but you left my heart bleeding.
I gave you all my heart, baby,
I gave you all my soul,
I gave 'till I couldn't give no more,
but all that I did, couldn't help it grow.
Sitting in the moonlight,
looking at the heavens above,
I know there ain't no other
that can give me back this kind of love.
Some say it don't exist,
it's only for the dreamer,
yet I still wait, and I'm still yearning
to prove love can last forever.
Because no matter what
you put me through,
no matter how badly you broke me down,
my heart will always beat true.
So when I wake up,
sun shining in my eyes,
I'll smile for what the good Lord has given me,
a love that will never die.
Thank you for all you've said,
thank you for all you've done,
because if it weren't for you,
as for my wisdom, there'd be none.
Everything that happens,
well it happens for a reason,
and when it comes to a dreamer,
it's just another lesson.

...and that's the love you hold within. Never count on someone else to make you happy, 'cause that's when you seem to be let down.~*~
