And you know the reason, dear it's you
And I've walked down life's lonely highways hand in hand with myself
And I realized how many paths have crossed between us

Oh, I do believe
You are what you perceive
What comes is better than what came before

Come, come, come to me (you better)
F            C      A#
Come, come, come to me
F               F
Pa pa pa pa pa pa
