Lyrics & Music by:  Ian McLeish
 

1.
All my life, I've felt lost and so unsure -
I was looking for a lover with a heart and mind so pure;
Then I broke my situaton - I freed myself for you -
And now I'm asking nothing but what's in you.

2.
You say we're friends - well baby, that's fine with me -
'Cause there will come a time when you're tired of being free;
And when you look around you, for a friend to share your pain -
You'll find that I'm beside you, and I'm calling out your name -

Chorus 1.
I believe that our time will come one day,
And I believe there is nothing I'll have to say -
I'll know your love is true - and the time I spend with you -
Will pass so peacefully -
When you fall in love with me.

3.
Now, love can be a gamble - on that we both agree;
But I'm looking deep inside you, behind your philosophy -
And I see a woman aching - to reach out to a man -
Well, your man's right here beside you - if you'll just take his hand -

Chorus 2.
I believe that you'll turn around and find,
That I'm the one - the man that's on your mind;
You'll know my love is true - and the time I spend with you -
Will pass so perfectly -
When you fall in love with me.

(Repeat Chorus 1.)
