You're like a cool breeze to a hot spell
You're like a long drink to a dry well
Oh, I know by now there's no use thinking
That it's something in that water I've been drinking
'Cause I would not need even one more drop
If you'd just let me into your heart

You're like a blue sky to a gray day
You're like a new try to an old way
Oh, I never needed much convincing
'Bout that something in my life that's been missing
But I think I know where to find that part
If you'd just let me into your heart

I got a past, baby; now, who doesn't?
I won't ask you to think that I wasn't
Who I was back then; yes, it's true
But that was when I didn't know you

You're like a sweet sight to these tired eyes
You're like the first light after a long night
Oh, I never believed in the hands of fate
But to be with you, baby, I believe I'd wait
Til' the end of time for a chance to start
If you'd just let me into your heart

You're like a sweet smile to these tired eyes
You're like the last mile on a long ride
Oh, I never believed in the arms of fate
But to be in yours, darling, I believe I'd wait
Till the end of time for a chance to start
If you'd just let me into your heart
Till the end of time, baby, I can start
If you'd just let me into your heart
