YOU TURNED MY LIFE AROUND

 

THERE IS NO ONE QUITE LIKE YOU BABY

NO ONE MADE ME FEEL THE THINGS OF A DREAM   

COME TRUE

THINGS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME BABY

CAN’T GO BACK TO LIFE BEFORE THE LOVE WE SHARED

IT MAY BE THAT WE ONLY HAVE TODAY BUT

TOMORROW IS A MILLION MILES AWAY

BECAUSE YOU TURNED MY LIFE AROUND

 

YOU’VE GIVEN ME A REASON WHY

NO MORE LONG AND LONELY NIGHTS

BABY YOU AND YOU ALONE

YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON

AND THOUGH I KNOW THAT WORDS CAN NEVER SAY

I JUST WANNA THANK YOU ANYWAY

BECAUSE YOU TURNED MY LIFE AROUND

 

AND EVEN THOUGH YOU TRY TO WALK AWAY

LOVE GETS STRONGER EVERY DAY

BECAUSE YOU TURNED MY LIFE AROUND.

TRYING TO BELIEVE

THINGS YOU SAY AND THINGS YOU DO
LET ME KNOW YOU FEEL THE NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH
IF YOUR A BELIEVER, MAKE ME ONE TOO

(JUST BECAUSE YOU CANT STOP IT, IT DOESN’T MEAN YOUR GONNA BE AROUND TO SEE IT)

TODAY’S THE DAY (X4)

 

I MIGHT BE A CHILD OF CIRCUMSTANCE BUT TODAY I’VE GOT MY CHANCE

THE ONLY ONE WHO REALLY CARES

 

WITH YOUR LOVE I CAN FLY

THROUGH THE STORM OF LIFE

THROUGH THE EYE

YOU MAKE IT EASY TO FACE EACH DAY

COS I KNOW IF I FALL YOU’RE A MOMENT AWAY

 

FEEL MY PAIN (FEEL)

HOLD MY HAND (HOLD)

TELL ME YOU LOVE ME (LOVE)

ON DEMAND (YEAH)

YOU KEEP ME TOGETHER (YOU)

IN DESPAIR (ONLY YOU)

WERE YOU THE ONLY ONE

THE ONLY ONE WHO REALLY CARES?

SACRIFICED WHAT YOU NEEDED

YOU’RE A LEADER, YOU’RE A QUEEN

YOU HAVE PAID EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY DUES

EVEN THOUGH THEY CAN TRY, THEY CAN NEVER WALK IN YOUR SHOES

 

 

CHORUS

 

THEY MIGHT SAY “YOU’RE CRAZY”

BUT THEY DON’T KNOW

COS THEY AIN’T BEEN WHERE YOU BEEN

AND LORD KNOWS THEY CAN’T GO

IN THIS LIFE, ALL I PRAY IS TO LIVE IN YOUR LOVE

EACH AND EVERY SINGLE DAY

THE LONG GOODBYE

 

EVERYBODY LOOKS THE OTHER WAY

EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO SAY

FOR SUCH A LONG TIME

THEY SAY THAT LOVE’S THE ONLY GUARANTEE

BUT MAYBE LOVE’S REASON IT WOULD BE

FOR SUCH A LONG TIME

AND WE LET IT IN TO LET IT GO

AND THE TRUTH IS EVERYBODY KNOWS

IT’S SUCH A LONG, LONG TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

 

EVERYBODY HAS HIS OWN REALITY

IT DOESN’T HAVE TO MAKE MUCH SENSE TO ME

FOR SUCH A LONG TIME

AND EVEN THOUGH I KNOW IT SHALL NOT STAY

DO I STILL HAVE TO WATCH IT FADE AWAY

FOR SUCH A LONG TIME?

AND WE LET IT IN TO LET IT GO

AND THE TRUTH IS EVERYBODY KNOWS

IT’S SUCH A LONG, LONG TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

 

THERE IS A VISION IN MY MIND OF A PLACE THAT YOU CAN FIND

AND IT IS WONDERFUL AND MARVELOUS AND MERCIFUL AND KIND

“WELL YOU MAY SAY THAT YOU ARE OLDER AND YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE WISE

BUT YOU HAVEN’T SEEN YOUR FUTURE ‘TILL YOU TAKE A LOOK IN SIDE.”

AND LET IT GO

GOD ONLY KNOWS

IT’S SUCH A LONG, LONG TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

 

THERE IS A PLACE TO WHICH YOU’LL GO AND EVERYWHERE ONE YOU WILL KNOW

IT’S A FANTASY A PARODY A TRILOGY A MYSTERY

“YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE OLDER AND YOU SAY THAT YOU ARE WISE

BUT YOU WILL NOT SEE YOUR FUTURE TILL YOU SEE IT THROUGH MY EYES.”

AND LET IT GO

GOD ONLY KNOWS

IT’S SUCH A LONG, LONG TIME TO SAY GOODBYE
