Lyrics

Shad ows fill an emp ty heart as love is fad ing from all the things that we are and are not say ing. Can we see be yond the scars and make it to the dawn? The Change the col ors of the sky and o pen up to the ways you made me feel a live, the ways I loved you. For all the things that nev er died to make it through the night, where love will find you. What a bout now, what a bout to day? What if you’re mak ing me all that I was meant to be? What if our love nev er went a way, what if it’s lost be hind words we could nev er find? Ba by, be fore it’s too late, what a bout now? The sun is break ing in your eyes to start a new day. This bro ken heart can still sur vive the touch of your grace. As shad ows fade in to the light, to I am by your side where love will find you. What a bout now, what a bout to day? What if you’re mak ing me all that I was meant to be? What if our love nev er went a way, what if it’s lost be hind words we could nev er find? Ba by, be fore it’s too late, what a bout now? What a bout now, now that we’re here, now that we’ve come this far? Just hold on. There is noth ing to fear for I am right be side you, for all my life I am yours. What a bout now, what a bout to day? What if you’re mak ing me all that I was meant to be? What if our love nev er went a way, what if it’s lost be hind words we could nev er find? What a bout ba by, be fore it’s too late, ba by, be fore it’s too late, what a bout now?
