Sittin' on my own Chewin' on a bone A thousand million miles from home When something hit me Somewhere right between the eyes Sleepin' on a plane You know you can't complain You took your last chance once again I landed stranded Hardly even knew your name I want to talk tonight Until the mornin' light 'Bout how you saved my life You and me see how we are You and me see how we are All your dreams are made Of strawberry lemonade And you make sure I eat today You take me walking To where you played when you were young I'll never say that I won't ever make you cry And this I'll say I don't know why I know I'm leavin' But I'll be back another day I want to talk tonight Until the mornin' light 'Bout how you saved my life (You saved my life) I want to talk tonight (I want to talk tonight) 'Bout how you saved my life (I want to talk tonight) 'Bout how you saved my life (I want to talk tonight) 'Bout how you saved my life (I want to talk tonight) 'Bout how you saved my life (I want to talk tonight) (4x)
