Please my love, won't you lead the way and I'll come walking after
A million miles I've been on my own still there's one path I don't know
You know I would give anything to hear your joy and your laughter
I love you now as I loved you then
I'll be beside you but I don't know when that will be
I lost my way so long ago from directions I was learning
I really didn't even understand what went on in my mind
But even as I turned away I felt my steps returning
And In the eyes of truth I swore
I would be true to you before you were gone
Love is something that nobody ever taught us in school
I just never learned the rules
Every time I try explaining it I get mixed-up again
But I found in your embrace that light I never knew
Everybody's talking 'bout the times that you were hungry
I know, I've been hungry
Who really cares, anyway, what other people sayin'
Together we can show 'em how it's done — just you and me
So please, my love, won't you lead the way and I'll come walking after
I don't know why I think I'm so damn smart when ther's so much I don't know
You know I would give anything to share your tears and your laughter
Come on, baby, don't you let me down
I need you, darling, just to be around me today
I love you now as I loved you then
I'll be beside you if I can't say when
But it won't matter if you'll let me into your heart
And every time the bitter cold winds blow
I can't explain it but I need just to know you are near
