Can’t get you out of my mind
However hard I try
I have tried very hard though, no
I can’t forget you lying with me
I can’t forget...
I won’t forget your love
All through my life

And do you know where I am going?
Do you really care at all?
Won’t you take my had and walk with me?

I can still remember the last time we said good-bye
We said good-bye with tears
Silent tears
I somehow felt I knew you
We knew ourselves
We felt the pains of time
Pains of life

And I think you know where I am going
I think you really care
Won’t you take my hand and walk with me a while?

We’ll walk on towards the sunset
We’ll walk on the angry waters
God only knows but we’ll reach the end!

The end
My loveI really love you
Won’t you take my hand?

When I dream
I dream
I dream of you
Won’t you come with me?

When I sing
I sing
I always sing for you
Won’t you sing for me?

La la la
La la la
La la la
Won’t you sing for me?

And when the world is darkness
Your fire burns low
I’ll hold you, and care for you
‘Till all your pain is through

I’ll call to the morning
I’ll seek the dawn
I’ll whisper our words of laughter
In time
We’ll see the light

The end
My loveI really love you
Won’t you take my hand?

When I dream
I dream
I dream of you
Won’t you come with me?

When I sing
I sing
I always sing for you
Won’t you sing for me?

La la la
La la la
La la la
Won’t you sing for me?

The future is a mystery
So I’m told...
So they tell me
I see our two roads ahead
Do they meet?
Do they meet?

And I think you know where I am going
I think you really care
Won’t you take my hand and come with me?

We’ll walk on towards the sunset
We’ll walk on the angry waters
God only knows but we might reach the end!

The end
My loveI really love you
Won’t you take my hand?

When I dream
I dream
I dream of you
Won’t you come with me?

When I sing
I sing
I always sing for you
Won’t you sing for me?

La la la
La la la
La la la
Won’t you sing for me?

In my dream you were an angel
Your love shone bright
And I, I was a sad man
Looking for the way

The light
You helped me
You led me
You know the way

To somewhere
To laughter
To love
To the light of day!

The end
My loveI really love you
Won’t you take my hand?

When I dream
I dream
I dream of you
Won’t you come with me?

When I sing
I sing
I always sing for you
Won’t you sing for me?

La la la
La la la
La la la
Won’t you sing for me?
