Lyrics
I’d like to live out all my dreams
And if I could, yes, if I could
The nicest one would be with you
And you’d be here with me
Don’t you ever get lonely?
Lord, I’m no good when you’re away
But what do you expect
From a girl who loves you like I love you?
Won’t you ever just get tired?
And come on home to me
Don’t you ever get lonely?
You’re a part of me
That I can’t do without
You’re a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can’t hold on to
Something that you’ve never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again
And take you away
Friends say, it’s great, now you’re a star
But what do they expect
From a girl who loves you just the way you were?
And late at night, I wish things had never changed
And you were here with me
Don’t you ever get lonely?
You’re a part of me
That I can’t do without
You’re a part of me
That dreams are all about
But you can’t hold on to
Something that you’ve never had before
Love waits for the wind
To bring you back again
And take you away (take you away)
Take you away (take me away)
Honey, I love you (take me away)
Take me away (take me away)
‘Cause honey, I love you (take me away)
