[Verse 1]
Mem'ries of you smile roll 'cross my mind,
memories I thought I'd left behind.
And as I hear that big jet engine whine,
I close my eyes and make believe, you're here with me.
And I can almost feel you here beside me.
Feel your gentle hands to guide me,
you make me feel like a man at all times.

[Verse 2]
Now I know there were things I could have said
to make you feel secure but instead
I must admit I played my part so well.
You could never tell that I needed you and I wanted you.
Now, why can't we learn to talk to each other,
and open ourselves to one another?
Why must it be so lonely together?
 
 
[Verse 3]
Lord, a quarter of my life has come and passed
and I'm beginning to know myself at last.
For being cool ain't worth the time I spend,
to show my friends that I'm cool and I'm no one's fool.
But don't you see that's not the real me?
If you leave it'll almost kill me
and I'd be like a song without some soul.
 
[Outro]
     For how can you say you've really lived
unless one time in your life you give all of yourself
and there's nothing in return?
Lord, yeah yeah yeah
