skin Feeling the pain within Hear my cry I feel drawn the dream towards You can't resist I don't know why My life is changing I cannot recall Where I've been you before The abyss of your eyes Meaning so much more Am I losing my mind The sun isn't shining But your eyes light my way I've found what I've been searching for My love won't go astray Deep underneath my skin Feeling the pain within Hear my cry I feel drawn the dream towards You can't resist I don't know why My life is changing I cannot recall Where I've been you before The abyss of your eyes Meaning so much more Am I losing my mind So many years My drifting heart Has wandered around Don't turn on me please Won't you stay By my side Where I've been you before The abyss of your eyes Meaning so much more Am I losing my mind Where I've been you before The abyss of your eyes Meaning so much more Am I losing my mind .... *******************************************************
