A Different Light

(앨범: Greatest Love Classics - 1984)

I'm like an actor who is waiting in the wings
Rehearsing lines
A thousand times
I know the moment that I step out on the stage
I face the fact
No turning back
And then you'll see me in a different light

Just like a portrait hanging in a gallery
I'll be on show
For you to see
And like a book that you can read between the lines
On every page
A plot reveals
The final chapter in a story of illusion

I am about to reach the point of no return
I can't conceal
The way I feel

There are so many things that I could say to you
But that would be
Dishonesty
You know the truth is that I've loved you from the start
I couldn't say
I was afraid
That you would see me in a different light

Is there a way that you could find it in your heart
To let me in
Then we'll begin
To share a life that's full of happiness and joy
And as of now
I'll make a vow
That you will always be a part of me forever

So now it's up to you to end this misery
Open your heart
And hear my plea
If you say yes then everything will turn out right
And then you'll see me in a different light
