Bewildered Lost in a dream of you Where is the love I knew Why did we part? Bewildered Helpless without you near Wishing your heart could hear What's in my heart Must I have sleepless nights and endless days? Oh love why did you leave my soul without a spark? I'm in the dark Bewildered I need your guiding hand I'll never understand How you could love me, then leave me Bewildered
