I watch your lips moving  I see the words taking shape  But love's like a language  I cannot translate  I can't afford to be careless  And let you in  I turn my head for one minute  And lose everything    Wish I had someone whom I could lean  Cause everybody's always counting on me  With my hands held real tight  Always ready to fight  For the few pieces of joy I have now  You have turned on a light  And I've lost my sight  But my heart still remembers the sound  Of a dream of a love one day found  Of a dream of a love one day found  So don't let me down    Your past it may be rocky  But your present is clear  My present situation   Is the sum of all my fears  I take responsibility for the few things I done right  But I got so much on my plate  I'm scared to take another bite  Wish I had someone on whom I could lean  Still I don't want no one's charity    With my hands held real tight  Always ready to fight  For the few pieces of joy I have now  You have turned on a light  And I've lost my sight  But my heart still remembers the sound  Of a dream of a love one day found    Heartbreak and bullets can try  To steal any good from my life  Fathers and lovers have lied  Rivers have flowed from my eyes  Never seen love face to face  Just seen it walking away  Why would you think I would recognize  Something that's never been mine    You have turned on a light  And I've lost my sight  But my heart still remembers the sound  Of a dream of a love one day found  You're the dream of a love one day found  And the freedom from what kept me bound  And a promise of staying around  My eyes may not work for me now  But my heart sure remembers the sound  So if you saying it   Please say it loud  And don't let me down    these lyrics are submitted by whatevermariver
