Lyrics
The winds of change that through my life
And overnight they took away my love
I didn’t feel the distant warning
My life goes on and on
But all the laughter’s gone
Was it my fault? I just don’t know
I did my best, but that was not enough
But there’s one thing I wanna tell you
The skies have turned to gray
Since you have gone away
My heart is crying without you
My dreams are dying without you
My soul surrenders
‘Cause you really hurt my feelings
My heart is crying without you
My hopes are flying out in the blue
If you can hear me, listen babe
I long for your love
The winds of change will bring you back
I do believe in everlasting love
And if you find a hidden feeling
Deep down in your heart
Let’s try a brand-new start
My heart is crying without you
My dreams are dying without you
My soul surrenders
‘Cause you really hurt my feelings
My heart is crying without you
My hopes are flying out in the blue
If you can hear me, listen babe
I long for your love
My heart is crying without you
My dreams are dying without you
My soul surrenders
‘Cause you really hurt my feelings
My heart is crying without you
My hopes are flying out in the blue
If you can hear me, listen babe
I long for your love
My heart is crying without you
My dreams are dying without you
My soul surrenders
‘Cause you really hurt my feelings
