|
Where were you when I needed you so |
|
Where were you when the waves came crashing upon the shore |
|
Where were you when this kind of love I couldn't uphold |
|
Where were you when I couldn't take it anymore |
|
We shared a lifetime of love |
|
In those days see |
|
The fruits of love |
|
We're barely beginning |
|
Again and again |
|
I'd live as you had shown me to be |
|
Yet as fate changed you'ld act |
|
As if you didn't know me |
|
I thought family was supposed to stay close throughout the end |
|
I wanted to be your loved one not only your counseling friend |
|
And although you seemed happy I simply could not understand |
|
Where were you when I needed you so |
|
Where were you when the waves came crashing upon the shore |
|
Where were you when this kind of love I could'nt uphold |
|
Where were you when I couldn't take it anymore |
|
All I did want |
|
Was for someone to hold me |
|
So close that I'd feel |
|
Oh some security |
|
To ease my intermost pleas |
|
Tenderness who held the key |
|
Time as it passes |
|
Proves only that I've grown free |
|
Of the fears that we both shared when I was a just a little girl |
|
I found out that tears shed for pain are like rain it starts to fall |
|
Where the earth absorbs water that nourishes it's deepest core |
|
Expressed emotion helps me to grow |
|
But where were you when I needed you so |
|
Where were you when the waves came crashing upon the shore |
|
Where were you when my heart lay bleeding on the floor |
|
Where were you |
|
Now old regret |
|
Has started to flee |
|
Anger and tears |
|
No longer afflict me, yeah |
|
True humility |
|
Can only let you be |
|
Time as it passes |
|
Proves only |
|
That we're growing free |
|
Now our lives take a new meaning since we're changing what has past |
|
Though the hurt was strong and pain was felt love cannot be surpassed |
|
And it's true there's few who wont tarnish the pearls you do cast |
|
And I know that we both want to grow |
|
So here we are now |
|
I forgive you so |
|
Here we are now |
|
Let's let life's healing overflow |
|
Here we are now |
|
This is how I always wanted to be |
|
I need you so |
