The Road

why would I be calling you
why would I want to speak with you
why would I want to hold you
because deep inside, I love you

Chorus
because I love you
because I need to hold you
I need to say I love you

you said you wanted to be with me
you said you wanted to stay with me
you said you wanted to never leave me
I know, deep inside, you still love me

the road turns and you are there
the road can end, I can't say, I don't care
the road might turn again, I know you will still be there
the road might have a few bumps, I don't know where


Chorus
because I love you
because I need to hold you
I need to say I love you

you said never give up, I will be waiting for you
you said never stop loving, I can't stop loving you
you said I can't take on more than I chew
never empty your heart, if you do, I will be so blue

Chorus
because I love you
because I need to hold you
I need to say I love you

I see you on the road, wind blowing your long brown hair
I see your smile with your arms out, oh so fair
I stopped and listened, you said come if you dare
we said to each other, no regrets, no despair


I am driving away and my heart feels so heavy
I drive away slowly just passing the levy
I drive away for just a few moments in my old blue Chevy
I had to turn and come back, oh my heart feels so heavy



Chorus
because I love you
because I need to hold you
I need to say I love you

Chorus
because I love you
because I need to hold you
I need to say I love you

I know the feeling.
