Lyrics
Verse
Open your mind to possibility
A thousand paths indexed by what could be
You to me were a wonderful find
A picture of perfection womankind
And now you can’t stay
I won’t stand in your way
There were so many days
But now the night time slays
And I’ll say these words
Chorus
You are the one
The total the sum
When life had just begun
No one could ever see
The greatest love in living memory
Half Verse
You little girl were a satellite
Floating in presence of my soul
Took me to some dizzy heights
But finally the truth comes out I’m told
And I’ll say these words
Chorus
Middle Eight
Hanging on can’t go on
With this feeling of nothing inside
All the love that I have in the world
Washed away with the tide
Chorus
