When the mornin' sun streaks across my room
And I'm wakinī up from another dream of you
Yes, I'm on the road once again it seems
All I've left behind is a chain of broken dreams
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you, whoa, I lo~ve yo~u
How I wish that love was all we'd need to live
What a life we'd have, 'cause I've got so much to give
And it seems so wrong deep inside my heart
That the dollar signs could be keepinī us apart
When you know I love you
Yes, I love you, whoa, I lo~ve yo~u
And if only I could find my way back to the time
When the problems of this life had not yet crossed my mind
All the answers could be found in children's nursery rhymes
And I'd come runninī back to you
I'd come runninī back to yo~u
But you know we canīt live on dreams alone
And, to pay the rent, I must leave you all alone
'cause you know I made my choice many years ago
And now this travelinī life, is the only one I know
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you, whoa, I lo~ve yo~u
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you, whoa, I lo~ve yo~u
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you, whoa, I lo~ve yo~u
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you, whoa, I lo~ve yo~u
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you, whoa, I lo~ve yo~u
But you know I love you
Yes, I love you, whoa, I lo~ve yo~u
