I was lost, a new beginning I could hear, the bells were ringing Waiting, I was waiting The summer was gone, the roads were crowded The sky was grey, the sun was clouded Changing, I was changing Time was just a word I never said that I was smart or clever, you said Come and take me by the hand (If only for a little while) Come and take me by the hand (I only wanna make you smile) Come and take me by the hand Suddenly my hearet was aching, I could feel the ice all breaking Smiling, I was smiling The birds ware singing hallelujah, But you don't really listen like you used to 'Cause now you're used to Now, when every song has faded, feeling blue, You're feeling jaded, lost Come and take me by the hand (If only for a little while) Come and take me by the hand (I only wanna make you smile) Come and take me by the hand
