I BEGIN MY STORY NOW
THAT YOU HAVE SET ME FREE.
GIRL, WE'VE SEEN OUR UPS AND DOWNS
AND ALWAYS IT WILL BE.
IN MY HEART YOU ARE, (uh -)
NEVER VERY FAR. (uh -)
AND IF I'M AT ANY TIME ASKED IF I'VE KNOWN LOVE,
I WOULD ONLY SMILE.
SMILE AND THINK OF WHAT WE'VE HAD,
A VERY SPECIAL THING.
AND WHEN SOMETIMES I'M FEELING BAD,
I'LL TRY REMEMBERING.
ALL THOSE HAPPY DAYS, (uh -)
MY SWEET MEMORY. (uh -)
AND IF I'M AT ANY TIME ASKED IF I'VE KNOWN LOVE,
I WOULD ONLY SMILE.
AND IF YOUR HAND IS REACHING OUT,
I WON'T BE FAR AWAY.
WE'LL TAKE OUR TIME AND WORK IT OUT,
AND I WOULD ONLY SMILE, WHAT COULD I SAY?
IN MY HEART YOU ARE, (uh -)
NEVER VERY FAR. (uh -)
AND IF I'M AT ANY TIME ASKED IF I'VE KNOWN LOVE,
I WOULD ONLY SMILE.
AND IF YOUR HAND IS REACHING OUT,
I WON'T BE FAR AWAY.
WE'LL MAYBE BE NOT WORKIN' OUT,
BUT I WOULD ONLY SMILE, WHAT COULD I SAY?
(AH!)
I BEGIN MY STORY NOW
THAT YOU HAVE SET ME FREE.
GIRL, WE'VE SEEN OUR UPS AND DOWNS
AND ALWAYS IT WILL BE.
IN MY HEART YOU ARE, (uh -)
NEVER VERY FAR. (uh -)
AND IF I'M AT ANY TIME ASKED IF I'VE KNOWN LOVE,
I WOULD ONLY SMILE.
I WOULD ONLY SMILE.
