If I had a reason |
|
I'd tell you what it is, |
|
Must I explain how |
|
I feel.I've tried and |
|
I've tried to make it so clear, |
|
But my time is just wasted |
|
I fear.Well it's only an old song but it serves it's purpose so well, |
|
By the cry in your voice |
|
I can tell. |
|
When you sing there's a feeling behind the words, |
|
That brings it all back again. |
|
I'm reaching, |
|
I'm reaching, while you slip away, |
|
I'm searching for words |
|
I can say. |
|
I'm listening, |
|
I'm listening, tryin' not to hear, |
|
You say that we might meet some day. |
|
There's a picture that's faded and curling from it's frame, |
|
Of a face that smiles patiently. |
|
It might smile forever to make me feel better, |
|
But I just might wait to see. |
|
Oh I'm reaching, |
|
I'm reaching while you slip away, |
|
I'm searching for words |
|
I can't say. |
|
I'm listening, |
|
I'm listening tryin' not to hear, |
|
You say that we might meet some day. |
|
There's answers to questions that we both wanna know, |
|
But those answers keep evading me. |
|
There's rhymes and there's reasons, there's rights and there's wrongs. |
|
For being what you are to me. |
|
If I had a a reason |
|
I'd tell you what it is, |
|
Would you do the same thing for me?"Cause the minute you go there's one thing I know,That the day will mean nothing for me. |
