Lonely girl lies awake at night

silence ringing in her ears

there's a boy who is on her mind

so much promise unfulfilled

she had waited so patiently

he had nothing more to say

not a sound as she slowly walked away



lonely boy watching from the bridge

his reflection in the lake

there's a girl who seems out of reach

and a choice he has to make

lonely boy what will you become

if you let her slip away

tomorrow's pain of regret may come too late



too many people

suffer in silence

because they're afraid

love will never come their way



so many walk behind a veil of sorrow

so many know they have themselves to blame

good reasons not to wait until tomorrow

so don't be afraid

love will always come your way



he should say he's a lonely man

she may have heard it all before

he should say he's a faithful man

she can never be too sure

if only he would communicate

there'd be nothing in their way

only then would she understand his pain



too many people

suffer in silence

because they're afraid

love will never come their way



so many walk behind a veil of sorrow

so many know they have themselves to blame



too many people

suffer in silence

so don't be afraid

love will always come your way
