It's the same old story When someone astounds you The harder they come Yes the harder they fall Takin' it easy No matter what people say And time will heal all your troubles away (chorus) I've got a notion I might as well be closer to your heart It's out in the open I might as well be closer to your heart Tossing and turning And burning dreams across the night (forever searching) Silently waiting for such a long time But will I know tomorrow If you will be mine? (repeat chorus) So it's the same old story When someone astounds you That the harder they come Yes the harder they fall Like takin' it easy No matter what people say And time will heal all your troubles away (repeat chorus) (repeat chorus)
