How can I convince you what you see is real Who am I to blame you for doubting what you feel I was always reachin', you were just a girl I knew I took for granted the friend I have in you I was living for a dream, Loving for a moment Taking on the world, That was just my style Now I look into your eyes I can see forever, The search is over You were with me all the while Can we last forever, will we fall apart At times it's so confusing, these questions of the heart You followed me through changes, and patiently you'd wait Till I came to my senses, through some miracle of fate I was living for a dream, Loving for a moment Taking on the world, That was just my style Now I look into your eyes I can see forever, The search is over You were with me all the while Now the miles stretch out behind me loves that I have lost Broken hearts lie victims of the game Then good luck it finally stuck like lightning from the blue Every highway leading me back to you Now at last I hold you, now all is said and done The search has come full circle, our destinies are one So if you ever loved me show me that you give a damn You'll know for certain the man I really am I was living for a dream, Loving for a moment Taking on the world, That was just my style Now I look into your eyes I can see forever, The search is over You were with me all the while
