It's a long, long way

From Heaven to heartache

That's a trip I never

Wanted to make

 

Since I've been gone

It just hasn't been the same

I'm afraid I've finally learned

How a heart can break

 

I want you, I need you

I'll always be with you

I found out the hard way

I can't do without you

I'll always be with you

 

I've been walking on the

Wrong side of the highway

Waking up on the

Wrong side of town

 

I could never find

Under any neon sign

Anyone that I love

Any more than you

 

I want you, I need you

I'll always be with you

I found out the hard way

I can't do without you

I'll always be with you

 

At least now

We both know I tried

(Come back to me)

I will be yours until I die

 

Oh, I want you, I need you

I'll always be with you

I found out the hard way

I can't do without you

 

I want you, I need you

I'll always be with you.
