Lyrics
ONLY YOU CAN STOP THESE TEARS
Verse:
THE DAYS AND NIGHTS THEY'RE RUNNING AWAY AGAIN
RUNNING AWAY WITH ME AND I'M CAUGHT IN THEIR HOLD
AS THE WINGS OF TIME FLY BY WITH INCREASING SPEED
WILL THEY SAVE A SEAT FOR TWO A SEAT FOR YOU AND ME
SO I HOLD ON TO FATE AND PRETEND THAT YOU ARE HERE
AS MY HEAD FALLS TO MY KNEES I SAY ANOTHER PRAYER
Chorus:
ONLY YOU CAN STOP THESE TEARS
ONLY YOU CAN STOP THESE TEARS
DESTINY COULD SEE US TOGETHER
WHEN YOU STOP THESE TEARS
Verse:
FEELINGS THEY CUT YOU DOWN LIKE A KNIFE
OH BE IT WRONG OR RIGHT THE HURTING IS STILL REAL
BUT SOMEHOW I SEEM TO COPE WITH THE INFLICTED PAIN
AS IT TEARS MY SOUL AGAIN I WILL THINK OF YOU
AND THE HANDS OF FATE PROTECT THIS WEAKENED HEART
AND GUIDE IT THROUGH THE DARK WITH THE LIGHT OF LASTING HOPE
[Repeat Chorus:]
Bridge:
LIFE WON'T MAKE ANY GUARANTEES
NOTHING'S CARVED OUT IN STONE
JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE AND AN OPPORTUNITY
AND I'LL SHOW YOU THE WAY LOVE SHOULD BE GROWN
[Repeat Chorus:]
