Lyrics

Are you out there, walking barefoot on some beach? Bb F
Are you happy now? Are your dreams within your reach? Bb F
Is someone loving you the way I wish I could? Bb F
Cos all I know is in my life nothing ever felt so good Eb Bb F Fsus F F7

Maybe you're lonely on some friendless city street Bb F
Thinking only can you beg enough to eat Bb F
Or are you dining at some table in the sky? Bb F
Doing deals, making millions in the blinking of an eye? Eb Bb F Fsus F F7

Well you should know you are always on my mind Eb F Bb7 Eb
And I can't forget those days when you were mine Cm F Eb F

And if some day you wake up wondering Bb
What became of me Bb7/D
Believe me when I tell you Eb
I've spent eternity F#
Wondering just the same about you Bb/F
The one that got away Bb7/D
The one I keep believing Eb
That I'll meet again some day F (break) Bb F x 2

Well I've been thinking about those nights when you were mine
Was it real love or just the sunsets and the wine?
Cos I remember as you turned and walked away
A look that seemed to tell me you'd be back again some day

But every day now it seems further in the past
And every night I pray this emptiness won't last
Can you hear me? I'm calling out to you
Wherever you may be now and whatever you may do

Well you should know you are always on my mind
And I can't forget those days when you were mine

And if some day you wake up wondering
What became of me
Believe me when I tell you
I've spent eternity
Wondering just the same about you
The one that got away
The one I keep believing
That I'll meet again some day
