The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Day after day Time pass away And I just can't get you out my mind Nobody knows I hide it inside I keep on searching But I can't find The courage to show To letting you know I never felt so much love before And once again I'm thinking about Taking the easy way out But if I let you go I will never know What's my life would be Holding you close to me Will I ever see You smiling back at me How will I know If I let you go Night after night I hear myself say What can't this feeling just fade away There's no one like you Can speak to my heart It's just a shame we worlds apart I'm too shy to ask I'm too proud to lose But sooner or later I've got to choose And once again I'm thinking about taking the easy way out But if I let you go I will never know What's my life would be Holding you close to me Will I ever see You smiling back at me How will I know If I let you go
