There was a girl I knew

She said she cared about me

She tried to make my world

The way she thought it should be

Yeah we were desperate then

To have each other to hold

But love is a long, long road

There were so many times

I would wake up at noon

With my head spinning 'round

I would wait for the moon

And give her one more chance

To try and save my soul

But love is a long, long road

Yeah it was hard to give up

Some things are hard to let go

Some things are never enough

I guess I only can hope

For maybe one more chance

To try and save my soul

But love is a long, long road

Before all of this ever went down

in another place, another town,

you were just a face in the crowd

out in the street, walking around

A face in the crowd

Out of a dream, out of the sky

into my heart, into my life

And you were just a face in the crowd

out in the street, thinking out loud

A face in the crowd
