Lyrics
HERO
VERSE 1:
IT SEEMS NOT LONG AGO
I WAS ALL ALONE AGAIN
THAT'S WHEN YOU FOUND ME THERE
AND I KNEW I'D FOUND A FRIEND
VERSE 2:
YOU NEVER DID JUDGE ME
AND YOUR STRENGTH WOULD PULL ME THROUGH
IN ITS PUREST FORM YOU LOVED ME
AND KNEW THAT I LOVED YOU
CHORUS:
MY DEAREST OLD FRIEND
IT WILL NEVER BE GOODBY
JUST LAY YOU DOWN AND DREAM A WHILE
RIGHT HERE BY MY SIDE
VERSE 3:
OUT THERE IN THE NIGHT
I'LL WISH YOU SAFE AND WARM
NEVER FAR AWAY
AND SHELTERED FROM THE STORM
VERSE 4:
AND WHEN THE DAY IS NEW
WHERE MOUNTAINS TOUCH THE SKY
I'LL BE RUNNING UP THAT HILL
WITH MY HERO AT MY SIDE
REPEAT CHORUS
BRIDGE:
I WISH -- WE HAD TAKEN EVERY PRECIOUS DAY
OH AND I WISH -- BEAUTIFUL THINGS DIDN'T END THIS WAY
I WISH -- JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME TO SAY GOODBY
AND I PRAY -- YOU DID NOT SEE ME CRY
REPEAT CHORUS
