Words by Christopher Cross and John Bettis

Music by Christopher Cross and Michael Omartian



We all know how the story begins

How we fall so easily in

To love

Then a boy breaks a girl's heart

A girl breaks a boy's heart

Goodbye is a very hard word to forget

But I think I finally met

The girl

To take away those yesterdays



Oh she loves me, she told me so

As a tear came to her eye

And I love her, I will, I know

Love her for the rest of my life



Once more I'm feeling like I'm out of control

'Cause the girl's got a serious hold

On me

And part of me says run away

But I wanna stay

Should I be up front or cool

Which way is playing the fool

The only time I know what's right

Is when I hear her telling me



Somewhere there's a star in the sky of every night

Shining for the love of hearts

The light of that star, like the hand of a friend

Leading me back to love again



If you love her let her know

Let her see all the secrets in your heart

If she loves you she'll only love you more

As she find out who you are
