The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
I was green in my younger days Full of plans but not much knowin' Tried my hand at the game of love But I was so naive From the shelter of mama's wings Learned to fly but I was broken By a woman of 25 When I was just 19 Didn't know where to find myself The rules they were not so simple Makes no sense tryin' to face this world 'til you're old enough to fight Lover...you're the reason I'll be home tonite Lover...never thought that I would see the light I was hungry in '81 For a time I thought I'd found her Found myself on the road again Freezin' from the cold Fortune found me in '82 With a girl from way down under She seemed like the natural thing I thought I knew for sure Tried to hold her--I could not see Past her eyes was a spell unbroken Battered visions and frozen dreams That would never see the light...now you're my Lover...you're the reason I'll be home tonite Lover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime Lover...never thought that I would see the light Lover...you're the reason I'll be home tonite It's a long road to salvation People say nothin' lasts forever But when it comes to the bottom line When I make it I'll see you there...see you there Once in a lifetime... Now we're lookin' on better times It seems like a miracle But I'll never forget those days I'm ready now to fight...for you my Lover...you're the reason I'll be home tonite Lover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime Lover...never thought that I would see the light Lover...you're the reason I'll be home tonite Once in a lifetime...
