I stand before you
Accused of many crimes
But I want to believe
That love can still survive

You don't have to say it,
I don't have to read your mind
To know the emptiness
That's finally arrived

How was I,
To know the right from wrong
Words were hardly spoken,
So where did I go wrong?

Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!

Words will have more meaning,
If they're said at certain times
Now the all they've seen
I found to be a lie

How would you know it,
You won't give me sometime
To see if everything could work out,
And you'll be mine

Oh, will love be lost forever
But someday I will find
The world we've all been searching for
Or just some peace of mind..

Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!

Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!

All the night I sit and wonder
Must be more to laugh, I'm sure that
Days and years gone by while I am
Living with the..
Oh, lonely feeling

Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!

Tell me honestly
If you're still loving me
Looking into my eyes, honestly!
