Lyrics:
After long enough of bein´ alone
Everyone must face their share of loneliness.
In my own time nobody knew
The pain I was going through
And waitin' was all my heart could do.
Hope was all I had till you came
Maybe you can't see how much you mean to me.
You were the dawn breaking the night
The promise of morning light
Filling the world surrounding me.
When I hold you, baby
Baby feels like maybe things will be all right
Baby, baby, your love´s made me
Free as a song singing forever.
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely
You showed me the way to leave the past
And all its tears behind me.
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away only yesterday.
(Trombone solo)
I have found my home here in your arms
Nowhere else on earth I'd really rather be.
Life waits for us, share it with me.
The best is about to be
And so much is left for us to see.
When I hold you, baby
Baby feels like maybe things will be all right.
Baby, baby, your love made me
Free as a song singing forever.
Only yesterday when I was sad and I was lonely.
You showed me the way to leave the past
And all its tears behind me.
Tomorrow may be even brighter than today
Since I threw my sadness away only yesterday.
