Going To The Top

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.

So you're standing in the darkness, with your back against the wall

And your eyes look kind of distant, then I knew, you'd seen it all

It was then that you betrayed me, 'cos I could see right through your gaze

I guess you and I (baby) have seen much better days

You used to be so taken with the last isle of the King

Now you find love's everything

You're going to the top, you found somebody special

Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well

You could've been somebody, a contender

I guess that chance just passed you by

Now you can't remember who to trust, but I sure wish that you'd try

And nothing gets you nothing, and you get back what you give

You can't hold out much longer, it's time for you to live

You used to be so taken with the last isle of the King

Now you find love's everything

You're going to the top, you found somebody special

Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, yeah

You're going to the top, you're falling up to heaven

And now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, yeah

Good things are gonna find you, though somebody's got to pay

You could always turn your back and walk, but I sure wish that you'd stay

(Solo)

You're going to the top, you found somebody special

Now your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, these days

You're going to the top, you're falling up to heaven

And your heart ain't gonna stop, and you know I wish you well, these days

You're going to the top, you found somebody special

And your heart will never stop, and you know I wish you well, these days

You're going to the top, and now you're someone special

And I still think of you a lot, and you know I wish you well, yeah
