If you've been thinkin' you were all that you've got
Then don't feel alone anymore
'Cause when we're together then you've got a lot
'Cause I am the river and you are the shore
And it goes on and on, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done
Leaving them one by one
And we have just begun, watching the river run
Listening and learning and yearning to run, river, run
Winding and swirling and dancing along
We passed by the old willow tree
Where lovers caress as we sing them our song,
Rejoicing together when we greet the sea
And it goes on and on, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done
Leaving them one by one
And we have just begun, watching the river run
Listening and learning and yearning to run, river, run
I've been thinking 'bout the times You walked out on me There were moments I'd believe, you were there Do I miss you, or am I lying to my self again I do these things (It's all because of you) I keep holding on, but I'll try (Try not to think of you) Love don't leave me lonely
I'll be alright without you There'll be someone else I keep tellin' myself I'll be alright without you Oh love's an empty face, I can't replace (You don't need it) People wonderin' why we broke apart The great pretender here I go again These things I do (It's all because of you) I'll keep holdin' but I'll try (Try not to think of you) All I wanted was to hold you
I'll be alright without you There'll be someone else, I keep tellin' myself I'll be alright without you Love's an empty face oh I've got to replace
I'll be alright without you There'll be someone else, I keep tellin' myself I'll be alright without you Oh love's an empty place, I can still see your face I'll be alright
I must've been through about a million girls
I'd love 'em, and I'd leave 'em alone
I didn't care how much they cried, no sir
Their tears left me cold as a stone
But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
Fooled around and fell in love
It used to be when I'd see a girl that I liked
I'd get out my book and write down her name
But when the grass got a little greener on the other side
I'd just tear out that page
But then I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love, since I met you, baby
I fooled around and fell in love
I fooled around and fell in love
Free on my own, that's the way I used to be
But since I met you baby, love's got a hold on me
(Fooled around and fell in love) whoo, it's got a hold on me now, yeah
(Fooled around and fell in love) I can't let go of you, baby
(Fooled around and fell in love) I can't stop loving you now
(Fooled around and fell in love) hey, 'cause I fooled around
I fooled around (fooled around)
I fooled around (fooled around)
I fooled around (fooled around)
Fooled around, fooled around, yes, I did
(Fooled around) I fooled around
(Fooled around) oh, I fooled
I fooled around, I fell in love
(Fooled around) hey-hey
She said, "it's lonely here tonight"
She's always sad when she's alone
She said, "I need you here tonight"
She couldn't wait until I get home
She love me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said
Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday?
You know it's always cold at night
It's always lonely until the dawn
And though it's not what we both want
Knowing she's there, I'll carry on
She loves me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said
Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you more than any words can say
She love me and that's all I need to know
She's part of my life
Just a part I won't let go
Then she said
Love me tomorrow won't you please promise me?
Love me tomorrow like today
Love me tomorrow, hurry back
Can't you see I need you much more than yesterday

Here we are still together
We are one
So much time wasted
Playing games with love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby, it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
But baby, it ain't over 'til it's over
How many times did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fear kept me wondering, yeah
If I'd always, always be in love
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby, it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby, it ain't over 'til it's over
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
Baby, it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
And kept our love alive
'Cause baby, it ain't over 'til it's over
So many tears I've cried
So much pain inside
But baby, it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
'Cause baby, it ain't over 'til it's over (over, over, over)
So many tears we've cried
So much pain inside
But baby, it ain't over 'til it's over
So many years we've tried
To keep our love alive
'Cause baby, it ain't over 'til it's over
So many tears we've cried (over, over, over)
So much pain inside
But baby, it ain't over 'til it's over (over)
Over (over, over, over)
Highway run Into the midnight sun Wheels go round and round You're on my mind Restless hearts Sleep alone tonight Sendin' all my love Along the wire
They say that the road Ain't no place to start a family Right down the line It's been you and me And lovin' a music man Ain't always what it's supposed to be
Oh girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours, faithfully
Circus life Under the big top world We all need the clowns To make us smile Through space and time Always another show Wondering where I am Lost without you
And being apart ain't easy on this love affair Two strangers learn to fall in love again I get the joy of rediscovering you Oh girl, you stand by me I'm forever yours, faithfully
