Hearts gone astray
Keeping up when they go
I went away
Just when you needed me so
You won't regret
I'll come back begging you
Don't you forget
Welcome love we once knew
YeahOpen up your eyes
Then you'll realize
Here I stand with my
Everlasting loveNeed you by my side
Come and be my pride
You'll never be denied

Open up your heart
Feel the love you've got
