It`s Been Years Lyrics

It`s Been Years lyrics

It's been years

Since I held you in my arms

And surrendered to your charms

Many years



Long ago

I was underneath your spell

Thought I'd never live to tell

Long ago



That was then

Back when I was hypnotized

By the passion in your eyes

Way back then



Still I know

That without you, I am me

And I'm no damn fun to be

Oh, I know



Did I ever make it through?

Did you ever understand?

Questions never to be answered

Who would ask them?  Who could stand?

Did you ever really love me?

Was it all just fun and games?

Nevermind, don't even tell me

Yes or no, it's all the same



You were mine

You were all I'd ever need

All the mouth I'd have to feed

You were mine



Now you're gone

And I'm half a man again

One part has and one part been

Since you're gone



You were there

Everytime I felt alone

I could call you on the phone

You were there



How I long

To relive those days of old

And to come in from the cold

How I long



Did your love for me exist?

If it did, then does it now?

If I asked you, would you think

That you had beaten me somehow?

Can I see or am I blind?

Do I dare believe it's true?

That the thoughts that I am thinking

Are the same ones thought by you?



I'm the same

I'm exactly how I've been

Since we parted way back then

Just the same



I'm still yours

Please believe me when I say

You're the artist, I'm the clay

Only yours



Understand

That my words are from the heart

I'm alone when we're apart

Understand



Let's return

To that lovely time we held

To each other, to ourselves

Let's return



Has our time forever passed?

Did our love just fade away?

Am I saying all the things you thought

You'd never hear me say?

Is it time we told the truth?

Is it time we made amends?

Questions never to be answered

Not in one year, not in ten
