Gone are the days of my mistakes   I'd give everything if everything is what it takes   I'll bring the sun and I will chase the rain   If I needed to      But those may be the ways of mine   But I've been down that road so many times   And if you'll depend upon me   Then maybe you'll see      [Chorus]   You can't stop a river from flowing to the sea   Some things just happen like they're meant to be   And it doesn't matter where you are   Or where you go or what you do   You can't stop my heart from loving you      There is a dream I keep alive   Wonderful and heavenly and standing by your side   Bringing you all the colours love can spare   Just to be with you      There may have been times when I   Should have been there to hold you through the night   And if you'll depend on me   Then maybe you'll see      [Chorus]      I've been miles away   But I'm paying my dues   But don't worry, I won't blame you for a minute   I won't blame you this time      [Chorus]
