Lover — текст песни (Billy Squier)

I was green in my younger days

Full of plans but not much knowin

Tried my hand at the game of love

But I was so naive

From the shelter of mamas wings

Learned to fly but I was broken

By a woman of 25

When I was just 19



Didnt know where to find myself

The rules they were not so simple

Makes no sense tryin to face this world

til youre old enough to fight



Lover...youre the reason Ill be home tonite

Lover...never thought that I would see the light



I was hungry in 81

For a time I thought Id found her

Found myself on the road again

Freezin from the cold

Fortune found me in 82

With a girl from way down under

She seemed like the natural thing

I thought I knew for sure



Tried to hold her--i could not see

Past her eyes was a spell unbroken

Battered visions and frozen dreams

That would never see the light...now youre my

Lover...youre the reason Ill be home tonite

Lover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime

Lover...never thought that I would see the light

Lover...youre the reason Ill be home tonite



Its a long road to salvation

People say nothin lasts forever

But when it comes to the bottom line

When I make it Ill see you there...see you there



Once in a lifetime...



Now were lookin on better times

It seems like a miracle

But Ill never forget those days

Im ready now to fight...for you my



Lover...youre the reason Ill be home tonite

Lover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime

Lover...never thought that I would see the light

Lover...youre the reason Ill be home tonite



Once in a lifetime...
