CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER THEN

CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER THEN

WRITTEN BY J.R HILTON

OCTOBER 2018

HOW LONG WILL YOU HIDE

BEHIND THOSE SAD EYES

EVEN THROUGH YOUR TEARS

YOU MUST REALIZE

THAT IT HAS TO END

THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH SORROW

ONE HEART CAN TAKE

AND WHAT ABOUT TOMORROW

WILL YOU SMILE YOUR PRETTY SMILE

I'M SURE THE WORLD HAS MISSED

A TOUCH ON YOUR CHEEK

A SOFT KISS

AS I TURN TO GO, YOU SAY WAIT, NO

THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES

NOT LIKE BEFORE

SOME KIND OF NEW

AND SOMETHING MORE

I UNDERSTAND ITS HARD TO HIDE

YOU CAN ONLY TURN INSIDE

 YOURSELF FOR SO LONG 

YOU NEED LOVE TO FLY

YOU CAN'T TURN AWAY

TOO MUCH LOVE INSIDE OF YOU

YOU CAN'T HIDE IT

I LOOK AT YOU AS A FRIEND

BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT

WONDER THEN

WHAT ELSE THERE COULD BE

BETWEEN YOU AND I

I PICTURED YOU AND I

OUT IN THE COUNTRY

A BLANKET SPREAD OUT

ON FLOWERING MEADOWS

TOUCHED BY THE SUN

AND THE LOVE YOU AIM AT ME

A TOAST TO YOU AND I

A GLASS OF WINE

YOUR PRECIOUS HEART ALL MINE 

YOUR LONG DARK HAIR 

FALLS ON MY SHOULDER

AS YOUR LIPS TOUCH MINE

THE WHOLE WORLD DISAPPEARS

INTO A KALEIDOSCOPE OF COLORS

TURNING IN THE BREEZE

EACH ONE FILLED WITH WITH LOVE

I BET YOU COULD MATCH

MY SWEET IMAGINATION

I BET OUR DREAMS ARE THE SAME ONES

FOREVER NEVER LASTS THAT LONG

PART OF ME IN YOU NOW

WE COULD TAKE THIS THING ALL THE WAY

BE YOUR REASON TO START IT ALL AGAIN

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CRY IN SADNESS

ONLY TEARS OF JOY

IF YOU DON'T KNOW BY NOW

THE WORLD HAS A WAY

TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART

YOU JUST NEED

 THAT CHANCE TO START

THERE'S ALWAYS ANOTHER PART

 FOR YOU TO PLAY

DON'T TURN YOUR BACK ON LOVE

LOOK AWAY LIKE YOU DON'T CARE

REMEMBER IT WAS ME

THAT FOUND YOU

IN YOUR APEX OF SILENT SADNESS

RAISED YOU UP SO

YOU COULD FLY AGAIN

WITH AN EVERLASTING SMILE

MILES TO GO, IF I DON'T STAY

I THINK YOU KNOW THE WORDS

THAT I'D LIKE TO HEAR

DO YOU WANT ME TO STAY

OR SHOULD I JUST FADE AWAY
