Lyrics
[Intro]
You know, boy
You're so busy reaching for a dream that doesn't even exist
But you can't even see somebody who's standing right here
That loves you so much
And I've tried
Boy, I've tried
But I want you to still know this
That all you gotta do is reach out for me and I'll be there
Anytime you want me
[Chorus]
All through the night
Lay your head on my shoulder
You can make love to my mind
And if you feel the magic
Don't be afraid
[Verse 1]
Quit searchin'
Anticipatin'
Stop reachin'
For that distant star
[Verse 2]
I've been waitin'
Boy, don't pass the moment
The light's before your very eyes
[Chorus]
All through the night
You can lay your head on my shoulder
All through the night
You can make love to my mind
And if you feel the magic
Don't be afraid
Stop searchin'
[Verse 3]
Quit dreamin'
You're so mistaken
The perfect stranger
Will never call
[Verse 4]
Stop wishin'
If you won't let good be
Me waiting at your door
[Chorus]
All through the night
All through the night
You can lay your head on my shoulder
All through the night
You can make love to my mind
And if you feel the magic
Don't be afraid
[Chorus]
All through the night
You can lay your head on my shoulder
All thought the night
You can make love to my mind
And if you feel the magic
Don't be afraid
Stop searchin' boy
Stop searchin'
Stop searchin', yeah
Stop searchin', oh yeah
Why don't you stop it?
[Verse 5]
Quit searchin', anticipatin'
Stop reachin'
For that distant star
I've been waitin'
Boy, don't pass the moment
The light's before your very eyes
[Chorus]
All through the night
All through the night
You can lay your head on my shoulder
All through the night
You can make love to my mind
Feel the magic
Don't be afraid
[Outro]
All through the night
Feel my head on your shoulder
And make love to my mind
And if you feel the magic
Don't be afraid
[Outro]
Stop searchin'
Stop searchin'
Stop searchin'
Stop searchin'
Stop searchin'
'Cause I'm right here
