Heaven Only Knows

I watch the world go round and round

And my life goes by at the speed of sound

I walk the night

And I wonder just where I belong, oh

My heart is young, but my soul is old

I’ve never been one to do what I was told

My back to the wall

Is the only place I can feel strong, oh

Heaven only knows what lies before me

Heaven only knows what all my searching is for

All my life I’ve waited for a miracle

But I can’t ask for anything more

I like to think I’m a faithful man

To resist desire, I do all I can

I hope to die in the arms of the woman I love, oh

I’ve always wondered how to know right from wrong

Looking for a reason to replace what is gone

But somehow the road just seems to lead right back to me
