Only You
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.
When the night is young but it makes you feel much older
And you come towards each waking hour of life
When the days go by but the darkness lingers longer
And before you know it life is one long night
But when I close my eyes I see you standing before me
And if you take my hand I'll leave it all behind
Because only you can set me free
So hold me close just like the first time
Flashing lights illuminate your halo
And my pounding heart beats thunders like a drum
When we used to dance we never cast a shadow
Because there was only you and me when we were young
And in this sea of scars the first cut is the deepest
No matter where you are I'll always think of you
Because only you can set me free
So hold me close just like the first time
Show me how it used to be
Because only you can set me free
Because only you can set me free
So hold me close just like the first time
Show me how it used to be
Because only you can set me free
