Verse 1 :
Fell in love, and everything that I wanted
What a life for me...
Now a thing don't mean a thing, since we've parted
Meant the world to me...
And though my heart's still beatin', when will I breathe again
And when will someone wake me from, this awful dream I'm in

Chorus:
If you could see the way I live my life
If you could see the way I cry at night
If you could understand the reasons why
That I'm loving you still...
If you could hear me when I call your name
You gotta know I'll never ever love again
'Cause I'm loving you still

Verse 2:
I had someone watch over me, my protector
Kept me safe and warm
I had someone makin' love to me, I thought forever
Forever now is gone...
So I spend my days pretending, I spend my nights alone
I've never missed somebody so, I've never loved so strong

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
And now that you have gone away
Lord knows that I must pray
That we will meet again
But until then...

Repeat chorus/Out

I built a wall out of this heart of mine
Never letting no one in
Didn't think I'd need a friend
Until now, feeling this way won't do
I'm ready to give all of me
The question that I have of you
Will he say the things he needs to say?
Or touch me in a certain way?
I told myself just to be strong
One day the man will come along, so

What will I do?
Where will I go?
When it's my turn
How will I know that you're the mea I'm dreaming of?
I hope this time it's love

(Repeat)

Now you've opened up this heart of mine
You made me feel like no one else
Showed me there's someone besides myself
That I can depend on
Looking back I finally see
Exactly what you mean to me
You touched me in that special way
Said all the things a man should say
I kept my faith and I just stayed strong
My man finally come along

What will I do?
Where will I go? (where do I go?)
When it's my turn (when it's my turn)
How will I know (how will I know)
that you're the man I'm dreaming of?
I hope this time it's love

What will I do?
Where will I go?
When it's my turn
How will I know that you're the man I'm dreaming of?
I hope, I hope this time it's love

Every single day we knew
My love grows deeper and stronger it's true
'Cause you showed me things I've never known
You gave me strength to carry on
'Cause sometimes I'm afraid to let you in
Even though I know you're a good man
Still thoughts of doubt run through my mind
There's questions I have so tell me what to do

What will I do?
Where will I go?
When it's my turn
How will I know that you're the man I'm dreaming of?
I hope this time it's love

(Repeat)
