Who can I turn to When nobody needs me My heart wants to know And so I must go Where destiny leads me With no star to guide me And no one beside me I'll go on my way After the day The darkness will hide me And maybe tomorrow I'll find what I'm after I'll throw off my sorrow Beg, steal or borrow My share of laughter With you I could learn too With you on a new day But who can I turn to If you turn away And maybe tomorrow (maybe tomorrow) I'll find what I'm after (I'll find what I'm after) I'll throw off my sorrow Beg, steal or borrow My share of laughter With you I can learn too With you on a new day But who can I turn to If you turn away
