Love Is Standing Near

(album: Big Life - 1987)

I know it's hard
And words can never
Tell you the way I feel

I know it's like
A cold December
With nothing to hide the fear

Know that I just need you so
And I'm strung out on love with no control
And the world retains me far from home
Telephone
No one's home
Expected maybe

Yes, you know inside
When it's time to shed a tear
Know in your heart and believe it
Love is standing near

Yes, you know inside
Only time will see ya clear
Know in your heart and believe it
Love is standing near

I feel just like
A lonely runner
Running the miracle mile

Or a man
Who's accidentally
Setting himself on fire

Why do I need you so
Am I fooling myself
I'll never know

And I expect to call you up
Telephone
No one's home
Expected someday

Yes, you know inside
When it's time to shed a tear
Know in your heart and believe it
Love is standing near

Yes, you know inside
Only time will see ya clear
Know in your heart and believe it
Love is standing near

Oh, spin a heart
Never find the answer
Lonely nights
Keep on getting longer
I ain't saying
I got all the answers
Love is the hero
And that's all that matters

Oh
Yes, you know inside
When it's time to shed a tear
Know in your heart and believe it
Love is standing near

Yes, you know inside
Only time will see ya clear
Know in your heart and believe it
Love is standing near

Oh
Yes, you know deep inside
When it's time to shed a tear
Know in your heart and believe it
Love is standing near
