Well, here we stand alone, our goodbyes and our waiting Getting our feet to move, always the hardest part Like friends we know we've traveled off from one another And we're trying to face the days a world apart And change is what we have all been born into That's what he said and all that I have to hold on to But you have opened up the heart of me Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face And you have opened up a part of me Saying, please don't leave me here When I'm a world apart from you My independence is the part that drew you in You said, I like the way you know a thing or two But I must confess the air I breathe and paths I tread Are making me less aware of what I am to do I've done all I can to build the strength I need Climbed all the mountains, wishing you were here to see But you have opened up the heart of me Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face And you have opened up a part of me Saying, please don't leave me here When I'm a world apart from With a true and faithful heart I found The one apart from all the others I can stand alone because I know that You have opened up the heart of me Taken the shadows and replaced them with your face And you have opened up a part of me Saying, please don't leave me here And you, and you Saying, please don't leave me here And you, and you Saying, please don't leave me here And you, and you Please don't leave me here And you, and you Saying, please don't leave me here When I'm a world apart from you
