You've got that look again The one I hoped I had when I was a lad Your face is just beaming Your smile got me boasting, my pulse rollercoastering Anyway the four winds that blow They're gonna send me sailing home to you Or I'll fly with the force of a rainbow The dream of gold will be waiting in your eyes You know I'd do most anything you want Hey I, I try to give you everything you need I can see that it gets to you I don't believe in may things But in you I do Her faith is amazing The pain that she goes through contained in the hope foryou Your whole world has changed The years spent before seem more cloudy than blue In many ways your baby's controlling When you haven't laid down for days For the poor no time to be thinking They're too busy finding ways You know I'd do most anything you want Hey I, I try to give you everything you need I'll see that it gets to you I don't believe in many things But in you I do You know I'd do most anything you want Everyday I, I try to give you everything you need We'll always be there for you I don't believe in many things But in you I do
