Down every yellow brick road

Every lost highway

In the night when it grows cold

In the bright sunlight of day

No matter where I go

No matter what I do

I look for you

I was just a reckless boy

When I let you go

We had love we had joy

But I was to young to know

How we really were together

We were one instead of two

And I look for you

I look for you

Without even meaning to I look for you

Like it was something I was born to do I look for you

I tried to find you in a thousand nights

I tried and I failed

Turned some good hearts into junkyards

It was all to no avail

I've done some things that no man

Ever had the right to do

And I look for you

I look for you

It's nothing new

I look for you

Every day I get through

I look for you

I look for you

Without even meaning to I look for you

Like it was something I was born to do I look for you
