The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I've been thinking about our fortune And I've decided that we're really not to blame For the love that's deep inside us now, is still the same And the sound we make together Is the music to the story in your eyes It's been shining down upon you now, I realize Listen to the tide slowly turning Wash all our heartaches away We are part of the fire that is burning And from the ashes we can build another day But I'm frightened for your children And the life that we are living is in vain And the sunshine we've been waiting for Will turn to rain When the final line is over And it's certain that the curtain's gonna fall I can hide inside your sweet sweet love Forever more Listen to the tide slowly turning Wash all our heartaches away We are part of the fire that is burning And from the ashes we can build another day But I'm frightened for your children And the life that we are living is in vain And the sunshine we've been waiting for Will turn to rain
