Only one shadow on the wall
Just one candle burning bright
I hold your picture to my heart
I'm alone inside the night
The sun comes up in China ... the lights go
on in Rome
Half the world is waiting for someone they
can hold
Half the world is praying they'll never be
alone
Everytime you leave me a part of me goes
too
And half your world is waiting here for you
I reach across an empty bed
I hear your whisper in my ear
But like the sun without the moon
It's half a dream without you here
The train that takes you from me
Brings somebody home
Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold
Half the world is praying they'll never be alone
Everytime you leave me a part of me goes too
And half your world is waiting here for you
Baby the earth stands still
When I'm lying next to you
No matter where you go
Our whole world's inside this room
The sun comes up in China
The lights go on in Rome ... oh
Half the world is waiting for someone they can hold
Half the world is praying they'll never be alone
And everytime you leave me my heart breaks in two
And half the world is waiting here for you
I'm waiting here for you ...
She could have anything
But still she's down
The happiness that means everything
Is not around
On the outside
It looks like a perfect world
Inside I know what you're thinking
She's too pretty to be sad
She's too rich to cry
She's no different
She's just the same
No one's left out of this loneliness game
She can't find her way out of the loneliness
game
No she can't find love
Pearls don't mean a thing
When love's not there
No gold or diamond rings
Can stop the tears
From the outside
You couldn't feel her pain
Inside I know what you're thinking
She's too pretty to be sad
She's too rich to cry
She's no different
She's just the same
No one's left out of this loneliness game
She can't find her way out of the loneliness game
No she can't find love
In the loneliness game, the loneliness game
She lies awake at night
Alone in silence
She reaches for the light
And waits for guidance
She's too pretty to be sad
She's too rich to cry
She's no different, she's just the same
No one's left out of this loneliness game
She can't find her way out of this loneliness game
No she can't buy love
In the loneliness game, the loneliness game ...
I've seen the rain fall down
And wash away a town
I've seen strong hearts easily broken
Why do some things survive
While others live and die
How can a man let his love go unspoken
I couldn't stand to see us end up that way
Just another tragedy
And every night I promise another day
Whatever it takes
I will be there
By your side Baby anywhere
When you're lost and alone
I'll bring you home
I will come thru for you
Whatever it takes
Whatever you need
Whatever comes down between you and me
When the road gets rough
You've gotta trust
I will come thru for you
Whatever it takes
I've opened every door
I always wanted more
I didn't have much to believe in
I searched the world for you
I found what's really true
It's your love that gives me a reason
Baby it's only you who can free my heart
I can't do it on my own
You carry the light of day baby
Thru the dark
Whatever it takes
I will be there
By your side Baby anywhere
When you're lost and alone
I'll bring you home
I will come thru for you
Whatever it takes
Baby I'm bound to you to release my heart
I can't do it on my own
We'll find the light of day baby
Thru the dark
Whatever it takes
La La La La La
Whatever it takes
La La La La La
Whatever it takes
La La La La La
