Russell Hitchcock – Best Intentions lyrics

(Jon Lind/John Bettis)
I've dance alone a thousand times
To songs that no one else could even hear
I've reached into the flame of love
I couldn't hold it
And it disappeared
I've lived to learn to hate the blues
I've lived with ev'rything but you
I can't believe my eyes
I see you here
Lookin' just the way you should
Ooh
So good, it's too good to be true
I lived my life
To be lyin' here with you
ooh
I can't believe my eyes
I've felt the empty hands of time
As they were stealin' all my life away
I've heard the silence here inside
Waiting for words that lovers
Could not say
You turn a little into stone
With ev'ry night you spend alone
I can't believe my eyes
I see you here
Lookin' just the way you should
Ooh
So good, it's too good to be true
I lived my life
To be lyin' here with you
Ooh
Still, when I see you lyin' here
I can't believe my eyes
