Lyrics
MEMORIES WILL START TO FADE
DON'T LET THEM SLIP AWAY
THE THOUGHT OF YOU IS IN MY HEAD
THE LOVING WORDS YOU SAID
SPINNING AROUND IN MY MIND
A LOVE LIKE YOURS
SO HARD TO FIND
CATCH THE DREAM
AND THEN I LET HER FADE AWAY
OH MY BABE HAS GONE
HOPE ITS NOT FOR LONG
I BEG AND PRAY THAT SHE'LL COME HOME SOME DAY
AND IF SHE RETURNS, SHE'LL SEE THAT I HAVE LEARNED
TO BE THE MAN THAT SHE WANTS ME TO BE
AS I SIT HERE ON MY OWN
I FEEL MY LOVE STILL GROW
ANOTHER DAY JUST COMES AND GOES
WHERE WILL IT END WHO KNOWS
CATCH THE DREAM
AND THEN I LET HER FADE AWAY
OH MY BABE HAS GONE
HOPE ITS NOT FOR LONG
I BEG AND PRAY THAT SHE'LL COME HOME SOME DAY
AND IF SHE RETURNS, SHE'LL SEE THAT I HAVE LEARNED
TO BE THE MAN THAT SHE WANTS ME TO
OH YEAH I WANNA BE THE MAN
COME ON YEAH
LET ME BE THE MAN
OH YEAH X 3
COME ON
OH MY BABE HAS GONE
HOPE ITS NOT FOR LONG
I BEG AND PRAY THAT SHE'LL COME HOME SOME DAY
AND IF SHE RETURNS, SHE'LL SEE THAT I HAVE LEARNED
TO BE THE MAN THAT SHE WANTS ME TO X 2
