I TURN TO YOU    Melanie C.

When the world is darker than I can understand
When nothing turns out the way I have planned
When the sky turns gray and there's no end in sight
When I can't sleep through the lonely night

I turn to you.
Like a flower leaning toward the sun.
I turn to you.
'Cos you're the only one
Who can turn me around
When I am upside down
I turn to you

When my insides are wracked with anxiety.
You have the touch that will quiet me.
You lift my spirit. You melt the ice.
When I need inspiration, when I need advice

          (Chorus)

Where would I be? What would I do?
If you'd never helped me through.
I hope someday if you've lost your way
You could turn to me like I turn to you.

              (Chorus)
I turn to you. I turn to you.

When fear tells me to turn around

           (Chorus)
I turn to you. I turn to you. I turn to you.
