I Turn to You

The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
When the world is darker than I can understand. When nothing turns out the way I planned. When the sky turns grey and there's no end in sight. When I can't sleep through the lonely night. I turn to you. Like a flower leaning toward the sun. I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one. Who can turn me around when I'm upside down. I turn to you. When my insides are wracked with anxiety. You have the touch that will quiet me. You lift my spirit. You melt the ice. When I need inspiration, when I need advice. I turn to you. Like a flower leaning toward the sun. I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one. Who can turn me around when I'm upside down. I turn to you. Where would I be? What would I do? If you'd never helped me through. I hope someday if you've lost your way. You could turn to me like I turn to you. I turn to you. Like a flower leaning toward the sun. I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one. Who can turn me around when I'm upside down. I turn to you. I turn to you. When fear tells me to turn around. I turn to you. 'Cos you're the only one. Who can turn me around when I'm upside down. I turn to you. I turn to you. I turn to you.
