Words and music by Christopher Cross and Rob Meurer



The journey has been long

A thousand memories strong

Faced with the night

Not caring who is right

Looking for the laughter that's been gone



How did we used to touch

Why do we think so much

We tire of the words of reflection

And long for affection

For the lovers' rush



Now that we're here after all of these years

Love is calling

Now that we're here so far and so near

Love is calling



Time and again we've tried

To let our feelings slide

Endless negotiations

And unmet expectations

Let's set it all aside



Now that we're here and our motives are clear

Love is calling

Now that we're here--plaintive, sincere

Love is calling



I have been lying still

I have been lying still

Dreaming of the truth



The journey has been long

The candor made us strong

Holding you tonight

In this familiar light

Can we take this sweetness to the dawn



Now that we're here and the walls disappear

Love is calling

Now that we're here and there's no one to fear

Love is calling



Now that we're here after all of the tears

Love is calling

Now that we're here--we're finally here

Love is calling



I have been lying still

I have been lying still

Dreaming of the truth



The journey has been long

The candor made us strong

Holding you tonight

In this familiar light

Can we take this sweetness to the dawn



Now that we're here

And the walls disappear

Love is calling

Now that we're here

And there's no one to fear

Love is calling
