Michael McDonald/Lester Abrams/Patrick Henderson
Girl, as we take a long last look at this love
Before you go, I've got to know
I've got to know, was it ever true
I've got to hear it from you
Girl, I can take one more hurt in this heart
Before you go, I've got to know
I've got to know, was it ever true
I've got to hear it from you
Not like before
We were lost in a whirling dance
Never slowing down
Long enough to give truth a chance
To come out
So that the light could shine in
And open your eyes
If it's not real, there's no reason to frown
Open your eyes
Let's not let what never was bring us down
I've got to know, was it ever true
I've got to hear it from you
Not like before
We were lost in a whirling dance
Never slowing down
Long enough to give truth a chance
To come out
So that the light could shine in
And open your eyes
If it's not real, there's no reason to frown
Open your eyes
Let's not let what never was bring us down...
