THE CARPENTERS
I NEED TO BE IN LOVE

The hardest thing I've ever done is keep believing
There's someone in this crazy world for me
The way that people come and go through temporary lives
My chance could come and I might never know

I used to say "No promises, let's keep it simple"
But freedom only helps you say goodbye
It took a while for me to learn that nothing comes for free
The price I paid is high enough for me

I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
I know I ask perfection of a quite imperfect world
And fool enough to think that's what I'll find

So here I am with pockets full of good intentions
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 a.m. without a friend in sight
I'm hanging on a hope but I'm all right

~

Yes, I know I'll be alright
and I'm just hanging on a hope
that might never come true
I've been dreaming of
Travelling around the world
with my beloved one
no matter what happened
our hearts will be close together
~ Always ~
rich, poor, happy or sad
we know that there's someone
who can count on
in this crazy world
with all those lonely souls
hanging around desperately
and don't know what they're looking for
but there's only one person
who could
complete my life
he might never come
he might have been died
before we've ever met
but as long as I have hope
as long as I have dream
I know I won't be too lonely
