By Heart

(marvin hamlisch/carole bayer sager)


I'm afraid to fly
And i don't know why
I'm jealous of the people who
Are not afraid to die

It's just that i recall
Back when i was small
Someone promised that they'd catch me
And then they let me fall

And now i'm fallin'
Fallin' fast again
Why do i always take a fall
When i fall in love

You'd think by now i'd learn
Play with fire you get burned
But fire can be oh so warm
And that's why i return

Turn and walk away
That's what i should do
My head says go and find the door
My heart says i've found you

And now i'm fallin'
Fallin' fast again
Why do i always take a fall
When i fall in love

Help me i'm fallin'
Fallin' fast again
Why do i always take a fall
When i fall in love

(it always turns out the same
When i fall)
Lovin' someone, losin' myself
Only got me to blame

Help me i'm fallin'
Fallin'
Catch me if you can
Maybe this time i'll have it all
Maybe i'll make it after all
Maybe this time i won't fall
When i fall in love

Today i heard them play the song again
An old familiar strain from way back when
Every note and every line
It's always been a favorite song of mine

It used to haunt me so some years ago
Reminds me of a boy i used to know
And although the melody lives on
The memories and the boy are all but gone

And while the song still brings that certain glow
And the words still sing of love i know
It isn't quite the way it was before
I remember the boy
But i don't remember the feeling anymore

The promises we made seemed easier then
As if we knew our love would never end
But seasons change and time erases the tears
As quickly as the rivers disappear

So while the song still brings that certain glow
And the words still sing of love i know
It isn't quite the way it was before
I remember the boy
But i don't remember the feeling
I remember the boy
But i don't remember the feeling anymore

My morning starts to shine with teardrops in my eyes
And here i am alone starting to realize
That my days would be brighter
If i could learn to hide
The feelings that i have for you
Keep hurting me inside

Then my day begins with simple thoughts of you
Hoping that tomorrow will be me and you
Sharing dreams with each other
And making them come true
Holding one another
Saying "all i need is you"

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when i need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
This i swear is true
My love will always be with you

Now my nights would end with just one wish, that's you
To hold me in the dark and help me make it through
'cause the pain that's inside me
Would simply melt away
If i had you here with me
And promise me you'd stay

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when i need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
This i swear is true
My love will always be with you

(instrumental)

But will you say that you love me
And show me that you care
Say when i need you
You will always be there
But if you go and leave me
This i swear is true
My love will always
My love will always be with you

How can things go wrong
When you're here with me
All of time and space would stop
They'd stop for you and me

How can we go wrong
We're like words within a song
Perfect rhyme and perfect time
And perfect harmony

Now our words have lost their way
And all they seem to say
You don't intend to stay with me
Tell me why
When we have come this far
We're happy as we are
But now

How can i feel right
When you're not by my side
Strange that i'm here all alone
As i recall the happy times
The happy songs, the perfect rhymes
How can i go on
How can i move on
How can i, how can i
Without you

Now our words have lost their way
And all they seem to say
You don't intend to stay with me
Tell me why
When we have come this far
We're happy as we are
But now, now

How can i feel right
When you're not by my side
Strange that i'm here all alone
As i recall the happy times
The happy songs, the perfect rhymes
How can i go on
How can i move on
How can i, how can i, how can i

Once upon a life
We said we'd separate for a while
You would live a different life
And i a different style

We broke the bond that made us one
And when that foolish deed was done
I lost you, you lost me
And we asked what we had won

Once upon a life
There was no you, there was no me
For you and i were one
As we were really meant to be

Once upon a life
We sought tomorrow, that's today
And we are one again
And that's the way we'll always stay

We broke the bond that made us one
And when that foolish deed was done
I lost you, you lost me
And we asked what we had won

Once upon a life
There was no you, there was no me
For you and i were one
As we were really meant to be

Once upon a life
We sought tomorrow, that's today
And we are one again
And that's the way we'll always stay
And we are one again
And that's the way we'll always stay

My head's in a jam
Can't take you off my mind
From the time we met
I've been beset by thoughts of you
And the more that i ignore this feeling
The more i find myself believing
That i just have to see you again

I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
But i know that i am much too shy
To let you know
Afraid that i might say the wrong words
And displease you
Afraid for love to fade
Before it can come true

Like a child again
I'm at a loss for words
How does one define
A crush combined with longing?
Longing to possess you oh so dearly
I'm obsessed by you completely
I'll go mad if i can't have you

I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
But i know that i am much too shy
To let you know
Afraid that i might say the wrong words
And displease you
Afraid for love to fade
Before it can come true

(instrumental)

I can't let you pass me by
I just can't let you go
Let me say the things and say the words
To let you know
I would rather say the awkward words
Than lose you
Or for love to fade
Before it can come true

I never lost the love that i had given you
With all the things that we have both been through
I never stayed in love before
As much as i have stayed in love with you

You never thought the feelings meant for you were true
'cause every time we're all alone you'd wonder
If i really never changed
And if i really stayed in love with you

Love
It means just you and me to stay together
Even if there's nothing more
The best is there forever
Love
We have to stay this way in love forever
Even if you change your ways
I'll always stay this way 'cause i
I will always stay this way in love with you
I will always stay this way in love with you
I will always stay in love this way

Love
It means just you and me to stay together
Even if there's nothing more
The best is there forever
Love
We have to stay this way in love forever
Even if you change your ways
I'll always stay this way 'cause you

You never thought the feelings meant for you were true
'cause every time we're all alone you'd wonder
If i really never changed
And if i really stayed in love with you

Love
It means just you and me to stay together
Even if there's nothing more
The best is there forever
Love
We have to stay this way in love forever
Even if you change your ways
I'll always stay this way 'cause i
I will always stay this way in love with you
I will always stay this way in love with you
I will always stay this way in love with you
I will always stay this way in love with you
I will always stay this way in love with you
I will always stay this way in love with you
I will always stay in love this way
