Deeper than deeper was my love for you 
Sweeter than sweeter joy 
Hoping that every day 
You can go your way 
I cannot hold you down 
Turning the situation 'round a little more 
Making it look like things 
are just fine 
You can go your way 
Shudder to think these words were mine 

[Chorus]
Touching the place that makes it a love thing 
Straight to the face, 
One way love would be a miracle 
Touching the place that makes it a love thing 
Straight to the face, 
One way love would be a miracle 

Dreamily passing by 
Words sort of come and go 
Wasting the time of day 
I don't know 
Don't you smile that way? 
Smiling is all I've got left for you 
You can go your way 
You can go your way 

[Chorus: x3]
