Lyrics

When I look in to your (Dm9)eyes, I can see a love re strained.

But dar lin’, when I hold you, don’t you know I feel the same?

Noth in’ lasts for ev er, and we both know hearts can change.

And it’s hard to hold a can dle in the cold No vem ber rain.

We’ve been through this such a long, long time just try in’ to kill the pain.

But (Fmaj7)lov ers al ways come and lov ers al ways go and (Dm9)no one’s real ly sure who’s let tin’ it go to day,

(Csus)walk ing a way.

If (Fmaj7)we could take the time to lay it on the line, I could (Dm9)rest my head just know in’ that you were mine,

(Csus)all mine.

So if you want to love me, then dar lin’, don’t re frain,

or I’ll just end up walk in’ in the cold No vem ber rain.

Do you need some time

on your own?

Do you need some time

all a lone?

Ooh, ev ’ry bod y (F)needs some time

on their own.

Ooh, don’t you know you (F)need some time

all a lone?

I know it’s hard to keep an o pen heart

when e ven friends seem out to harm you.

But if you could heal a bro ken heart,

would n’t time be out to charm you?

Whoa.

Some times I (F)need some time

on my own.

Some times I (F)need some time

all a lone.

Ooh, ev ’ry bod y (F)needs some time

on their own.

Ooh, don’t you know you (F)need some time

all a lone?

And when your fears sub side and shad ows still re main,

I know that you can (Dm)love me when there’s no one left to blame.

So nev er mind the dark ness.

We still can find a way.

Noth in’ lasts for ev er, e ven cold No vem ber rain.

You’re not the on ly one.

Don’t ya think that you (G)need some bod y?

Don’t ya think that you (Eb)need some one?

Ev ’ry bod y needs some bod y.

You’re not the on ly one.

Don’t ya think that you (G)need some bod y?

Don’t ya think that you (Eb)need some one?

Ev ’ry bod y needs some bod y.

You’re not the on ly one.

Ev ’ry bod y needs some bod y.
