Verse I’d like to get a picture of just where you are
And where you’re going
I sometimes get the feeling that I’ve gone too far
To keep it flowing
Chorus Then you look at me and then I can see
You are not so far from me
How can I help you when what made us two
Is now just old history?
Verse It doesn’t matter how much time has come and gone
Your heart breaks in me
I know this world demands that we just carry on
But I am listening
Chorus Then you look at me and then I can see
You are not so far from me
How can I help you when what made us two
Is now just old history?
Bridge You’re the man you always dreamed you’d be
Right now it’s just hard for you to see
Even when each day includes a sting
Let that butterfly unfold its wings
Chorus And you look at me and then I can see
You are not so far from me
How can I help you when what made us two
Is now just old history?
And you look at me and then I can see
You are not so far from me
How can I help you when what made us two
Is now just old history?
And you look at me and then I can see
You are not so far from me
How can I help you when what made us two
Is now just old history?
