I'm looking back through the years 
Down this highway 
Memories  they all lead up to this one day 
And many dreams lost along the way 
Haunt me still 
I guess they always will 

When love was too much to bear 
I just left it there 
But here I stand face to face 
With this heart of mine 

Livin' without you I only fall behind 
We had a love most people never find 
All this time I never realized 
And the courage I finally found 
Has made me turn around 

[Chorus]
There is only one road I'm walkin' 
Only one lifetime one heart to guide me 
Only one road I'm walkin' 
But I'm gonna run back, I'm gonna run back 
'Cause I need you right here 
Beside me 

I can still hear the song of your laughter 
I can still taste the sorrow of your tears 
We said goodbye but our hearts did not hear 
Now my love there's nothing left to fear 
With all my heart put me through 
It leads me back to you 

[Chorus: x2] 

But I'm gonna run back, I'm gonna run back 
'Cause I need you right here 
Beside me
