Lyrics
TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK AT ME,
AM I THE ONE YOU THOUGHT YOU'D SEE,
IN A DREAM THAT YOU HAD SO LONG AGO,
WHERE YOU PICTURED HOW YOUR LIFE WOULD BE,
THE HOUSE, THE JOB, THE FAMILY,
HAVE YOU MANAGED TO FILL, YOUR HEARTS DESIRES?
AND THOUGH IT'S NOT THE LIFE YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE,
NOT THE MAN YOU PICTURED, OR THE HOUSE ON THE HILL,
WITH YOUR HEALTH BEING THREATENED BY A PURPLE PILL,
TIME HAS BEEN GOOD TO YOU,
IT'S THE LAUGH LINES SHOWING THAT YOU HAVE ENJOYED,
ALL THE MILES THAT WE HAVE TRAVELED.
ONLY HINDSIGHT WILL SHOW,
AND BABY I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW,
TO LEAVE THE FOOTPRINTS WHERE WE'VE BEEN,
WOULD YOU DO IT ALL AGAIN?
I REMEMBER HOW YOU LOOKED AT ME,
WHEN FIRST WE TOUCHED SO MAGICALLY,
WHEN WE PROMISED TO LOVE, FOR ETERNITY,
NOW WE COULD WRITE A TELL ALL BOOK,
ABOUT THE PATHWAYS THAT WE TOOK
WHEN OUR-TWO HEARTS BEGAN TO BEAT AS ONE,
AND THOUGH IT'S NOT THE LIFE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE,
NOT THE RADIO PLAYING EVERY SONG I WRITE,
OR MY DREAMS BEING SABATOGED IN THE NIGHT
LIFE HAS BEEN GOOD TO ME,
IT'S THE LAUGH LINES SHOWING THAT I HAVE ENJOYED,
ALL THE MILES THAT WE HAVE TRAVELED.
THOUGH THE CROWD MAY NEVER CHEER,
LOVER THERE'S ONE THING FOR SURE,
TO LEAVE THE FOOTPRINTS WHERE WE'VE BEEN,
I WOULD DO IT ALL AGAIN.
