Always

There's a saying old
Says that love is blind
Still we're often told
Seek and we shall find
So i'm gonna seek a certain girl i have in mind
Looking everywhere,haven't found her yet
She's the big affair,i cannot forget
Only girl i ever thinkof with regret...
I would like to addmy initials to her monogram
Oh.. tell me where isthe shepperd
For this lost lamb
There's a somebody i'mlonging to see
I hope that she turnsout to be
Someone who watch overme
Well, i'm a little lambwho's lost in the wood
I know i could alwaysbe good
To one who'li watchover me
Although i may not bethe man
Some girls think ofas handsome
To her heart i'll carrythe key
Oh.. won't you tellher, please,
To put on some speed
Follow my lead
Oh, how i need...
Someone to watch overme...
Someone to watch overme.

Maybe i didn't treat you
Quite as good as i should have
Maybe i didn't love you
Quite as often as i could have
Little things i should have said and done
I justs never took the time


You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied


Maybe i didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And i guess i never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
If i make you feel second best
Girl, i'm sorry i was blind


You were always on my mind
You were always on my mind
Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died
Give me, give me one more chance
To keep you satisfied, satisfied


Little things i should have said and done
I just never took the time
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
Maybe i didn't treat you
Quite as good as i should have
Maybe i didn't love you
Quite as often as i could have
Maybe i didn't hold you
All those lonely, lonely times
And i guess i never told you
I'm so happy that you're mine
Maybe i didn't..

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, i've made some bad rhymes.
I lighted up my life on stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now
And i'm singing this song for you.


I know your image of me is what i hope to be
I treated you unkindly
But darling, can't you see
No one's more important to me
But darling, can't you please see through me
'cause we're alone now
And i'm singing this song for you.


Chorus:
You taught me precious secrets
Of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and i was hiding
Now's i'm so much better
And if my words don't come together
Listen to the melody
'cause my love is in there hiding.


I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life
You're a friend of mine
When my life is over
We were alone
And i was singing this song for you.


Chorus


I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you -- in my life, you're a friend of mine
When my life is over
We were alone and i was singing this song for you


We were alone and i was singing this song for you.

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in the sky more blue
If i can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why
Oh why can't my dream come true
Oh why?


There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds are promise that will blow away
The doubt and fear
If i can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why
Oh why won't that sun appear?


We're lost in a cloud
With too much rain
We're trapped in a world
That's trouble with pain
As long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and climb


Deep in my heart there's a trembling question
Still i am sure that the answer's gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark
There's a beckoning candle here
While i can think, while i can talk
While i can stand, while i can walk
While i can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
If i can dream right now
I say, if i can dream
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Let it come true
Right now

You'll never know just how much i miss you
You'll never know just how much i care
And if i tried, i still couldn't hide my love for you
You ought to know, for haven't i told you so
A million or more times?
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer
If there is some other way to prove that i love you
I swear i don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
You said good-bye,
The stars in the sky refuse to shine
Take it from me
It's no fun to be alone
With moonlight and memories
You went away and my heart went with you
I speak your name in my ev'ry prayer
If there is some other way to prove that i love you
I swear i don't know how
You'll never know if you don't know now
