To many roads, dead-end streets. I lost my way endlessly Looking for something to restore my faith And give me the strength to fight again To many words hit me hard Coz' they never meant what they said they would I have been taken, and broken, abandoned alone I guess I was resigned to give in Bridge The very first time that we met I knew I believed in you I was lost and you gave me direction again, yeh Chorus Just when all hope had gone Just when I needed someone to give me love You came and rescued me, yeh You showed me right there Just what I've been waiting for Lifted me up Guided me out from the dark Just when I needed it most you show me The Meaning of Love As tears go by, I can say There's nothing I miss by the crying game My heart beats like its still reeling I know I can feel it I've got the strength to fight again Bridge The very first time that we met I knew I believed in you I was lost and you gave me direction again, yeh Chorus Just when all hope had gone Just when I needed someone to give me love You came and rescued me, yeh You showed me right there Just what I've been waiting for Lifted me up Guided me out from the dark Just when I needed it most you show me The Meaning of Love Get a zoom on my face Standing here, crooked smile you put it there There's no doubt in my mind Now you've found me I'm whole again Chorus Just when all hope had gone Just when I needed someone to give me love You came and rescued me, yeh You showed me right there Just what I've been waiting for Lifted me up Guided me out from the dark Just when I needed it most you showed me The Meaning of Love Just when I needed it most you showed me The Meaning of Love Just when I needed it most you showed me The Meaning of Love
