Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Children play in the park
They don't know
I'm alone in the dark
Even though
[PreChorus]
Time and time again I see your face
Smiling inside
[Chorus]
I'm so happy
That you love me
Life is lovely
When you're near me
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile
[Verse 2]
Living life is just a game
So they say
All the games we used to play
Fade away
[PreChorus]
We may now enjoy the dreams we shared
So long ago
[Chorus]
Oh, my darling
Got to have you
Feel the magic
When I hold you
Cry sweet tears of joy
Touch the sky
[Chorus]
Now I need you
More than ever
No more crying
We're together
Tell me you will stay
Make me smile
