Lyrics
I can remember all the people, faces and the places I have seen
If I feel guilty, it just can't be helped -
but I would not turn away
My heart is heavy for all that's forgotten, long lost and locked away, but it would all be too much to bear, if it all fell down today
only you can light the way
I love the way you opened up my eyes
I love the way sometimes you'd only wait for me
By the way you're my hero left unsung
I love the way you've been there all along
Like a secret window, of happiness that glimmers through,
when times are hard
When I feel so unworthy, did I deserve a friend like you?
And I don't mind, the lines on my face, you know there's been a change in me
Knock on the door, I'll let you in my friend,
Someone like me could hold your hand, I always hoped you'd understand . . . . .
Along the way, you opened up my eyes
ALONG THE WAY, sometimes you'd only wait
Along the way, you're my hero yet unsung
I love the way, you've been there all along
Bridge
I guess, after all these years, I'm still just feeling my way
Like I'm blind, I run my hands along the wall
All the things that mattered slowly took form
I love the way, you opened up my eyes
I love the way, you waited all that time
I love your way, you're my hero yet unsung
I love the way you've been there all along
