What Can I Do
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well I don't know why I feel the way that I do
through all these years, but I still think of you
You're in my dreams,
I have seen the life we should have had
But I'm so glad that the truth is out at last
What can I do with a love like this in my heart?
So what can I do, It's tearin' me apart
So what can I do, What can I do
Why can't you see that it's you I've always loved?
I travelled far with mem'ries I'm thinkin' of
Through all of this time thought my love would have passed
But I know now that our love was meant to last
What can I do with a love like this in my heart?
What can I do Babe, it's tearin' me apart?
Oh it's been a while since we been alone
And I know it's sad but I'd die for your love
I close my eyes and I see you by my side,
My hopes and dreams of our love is my desire
I want you to know that this love is still alive
So I held on to a lie I had to try
What can I do with a love like this in my heart?
So what can I do, It's tearin' me apart
So what can I do, What can I do
