I see a face painted clearly now Images take me back somehow To the place just beyond my reach Where only memory is allowed I see clearly now Time doesn't erase the colors there Reaching for You I touch the air I've got to find my way back home Loneliness deepens my despair Hoping You're still there I'm lonely, Lord (love) I'm ready to come home My only love I've left You all alone For much too long I want to forget ugly stains I want to wash them in Your rain I want to laugh with You again But through the years, silent pain Could any love remain I'm lonely, Lord (love) I'm ready to come home My only love I've left You all alone For much too long I can almost see You I can almost touch You I'm hoping You don't say we're through I'm lonely, Lord (love) I'm ready to come home My only love I've left You all alone For much too long I'm lonely, Lord (love) I'm ready to come home My only love I've left You all alone For much too long
