I see myself when I look in your eyes
  And all of the sadness you're keeping inside
  Oh baby can't you see
  If anyone knows, if anyone knows it's me
    So many years I tried to pretend
  That I would live on in silence my friend
  Then something changed in me
  Funny how love, it's funny how love sets you free
    Don't run away
  From my love it could save you
  If only you'll stay
    How many tears will you cry in the dark
  'Till you let me close to your heart
  Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
  Let me get close to your heart
    "What can I do?" I hear you say
  Feels like I'm frozen or driftin' away
  Can my love unlock the door?
  And you won't be lonely, you won't be lonely no more
    Hold me, hold me tight and don't let go
  There's just one thing that you got to know
  And that is love it holds the key, baby
  So why don't take it, why don't you take it from me
    Don't run away
  From my love it could save you
  If only you'll stay
    How many tears will you cry in the dark
  'Till you let me close to your heart
  Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
  Let me get close to your heart
    How many tears will you cry in the dark
  'Till you let me close to your heart
  Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
  Let me get close to your heart
    Oh you just can't keep me away
  Not another day, baby
  You gotta open up and let me in
  Don't try to run away 'coz I got so much to say
  I could love you if you'd let me get close to your heart
    How many tears will you cry in the dark
  'Till you let me close to your heart
  Doesn't the loneliness tear you apart
  Let me get close to your heart
