I'll Always Be

I wait alone, I write this song for you

Hand to heart the music starts, the tune for you

The universe where we rehearse, our stage, the earth

And now, the final curtain call, so soon is heard

The band begins, the music blends, and still, you do not dance

From mezzanine, I watch you leave, no room, for chance

And in the dark, I wait for you to come to me

No flame, no spark, I wonder will this ever be

Even though this is not the plan

And you think it's a one night stand

And you say you want no part of me

And they claim you no longer dance

And they say that we're both has-beens

I'll always be, I'll always be

I'll always be, I'll always be, I'll always be

We turn, the page, love grows from hate, love grows

You act your age, so filled with rage, and so it goes

Slowly as the song expands, I let you lead

And reluctantly your hand you reach, oh let this be

Even though this is not my plan

And you think it's a one night stand

And know you're not in love with me

Even though this is not romance

I can't admit this is my last chance

Like a schoolboy chasing a fantasy

I'll always be, I'll always be

I'll always be, I'll always be, I'll always be

The plane, the car, the fame, the star, the life anew

The carousel, the ride, the meals, are all on you

How do I make you understand?

This is much more than a one night stand

It's the house, it's the kids, it's everything

This is love and there's no plan B

There's only you, and there's only me

Where you are, that's where I'll always be

I'll always be

I'll always be, I'll always be, I'll always be
