Is it a crime
Wastin' my time
I'll tell you my friend
Till the very end

Havin' you close
Right by my side
You're the only one
The only one

Remember the time
We ran away
I think back today
Ya know we couldn't stay

You took me so far
Wished on a star
What am I gonna do
So far away from you

How can something so good
Turn out so bad
Make you so sad
Would you understand
If I could take all the tears
I've cried thru the years
Would you understand

When I'm alone
What's there to say
There's nobody home
They've gone out to play
I sit by the phone
Wait for your call
But it never came
It came too late

How can something so good
Turn out so bad
Make you so sad
Would you understand
If I could take all the tears
I've cried thru the years
Would you understand

Only if you can see
You'd be so proud of me
I'll see you in heaven
I've made up my mind
Life does go on
When you're goin' strong
You can do no wrong

How can something so good
Turn out so bad
Make you so sad
Would you understand
If I could take all the tears
I've cried thru the years
Would you understand

How can something so good
Turn out so bad
Make you so sad
Would you understand
If I could take all the tears
I've cried thru the years
Would you understand
