Lyrics
You, I know you`re everything
That I’ve been looking for
And I, I look into your eyes
And could not ask for more
So it`s only fair to lay it on the line
Hold on, I`m gonna need a little time
But if I ever fall in love again
Sometimes when this broken heart can mend
I know it`s gonna be with you
You`re the one to pull me through
Though I don`t know when
If I ever fall in love again
Scared, I guess I`m scared to fly
It`s such a long way down
And yet, if you`d just trust in me
I`m sure, I`d come around
And I know when you`re hurt
It`s hard to let someone inside
In your arms I feel I`m ready now to try
So if I ever …
I`d be a fool to ever let you go
You`re the best thing in my life
When I know I’ve gotta take it slow
I know …
