Lyrics
The day that we met you were shrouded in sadness
A cloud around your broken heart
That look on your face told me somebody's madness
Had been tearing your world apart
While many would gladly have mended your spirit
Your path remained a lonely one
Love cried out to you but you just wouldn't hear it
And though you couldn't hide you surely could run
Time and again life shws us the way
Still we straddle that line
Don't be afraid to be out on your own
You will be just fine
There's nothing wrong with your own two feet
But I wish they were dancing with mine
I am the one who would give you a shoulder
I am the one woul'd return your smile
I am the one who'll be with you for more than awhile
I'll keep you warm in a worrld growing colder
Just when you thought love was out of style
I will be there by your side when each day is done
Oh don't you know that I'm the one
Now I'd never give you a reason to doubt me
I'll tell you how I really feel
Your life I am sure would just go on without me
But I'm offering love that's real
Although you don't need me, I hope that you want me
To be your everlasting friend
And if you should leave well you know it would haunt me
That our little dance had come to an end
How long can you listen to one heart beating?
It's a lonely sound
Search all your life for a guarantee
But it won't be found
There is a place you can always turn
When you're tired of standing your ground
I am the one who would give you a shoulder
I am the one woul'd return your smile
I am the one who'll be with you for more than awhile
I'll keep you warm in a worrld growing colder
Just when you thought love was out of style
I will be there by your side when each day is done
Oh don't you know that I'm the one
