Lyrics
(V1)
As a hand came down,
I seemed to have found
that my life is only this,
I guess I'd never known
Guess I had to be shown
that my life was more than this.
(Chours)
I never knew what love could be
'till you showed up suddenly,
You changed my life,
like a toss of the dice,
Showed me what life could be.
(V2)
Love your long, long hair
see me dancin' with ya there,
it's where I wanna be,
Ya stole my heart,
said you need a new start,
then ya left me suddenly.
(Chorus)
I never knew what life could be,
'till you showed up suddenly,
You changed my life,
like a toss of the dice,
Showed me what life could be
(V3)
Don't know where you are,
did ya get to be a star,
where you in the right place?
Guess I'll never know,
Guess that's how it goes,
God I miss your face.
(Chorus 2)
I never knew what love could be,
'till you opened up my eyes,
I always thought the winner was ahead,
'Till I lost my prize,
I never knew what love could be,
'Till you showed up suddenly,
You changed my life like a toss of the dice,
Showed me what life could be
(V4)
Don't know where you are,
you'll always be my star,
do you miss me just a trace?
Guess I'll never know,
Guess it's how it goes,
God I miss your face...
God I miss your face...
God I miss your face...
(Finale)
I never knew what life could be.
'Till you showed up suddenly,
Ya changed my life like a toss of the dice,
Showed me what life could be,
Showed me what life could be...
...life could be,
Showed me what life could be,
