Lyrics
You can make me free
You can make me smile
You can make me be
Like a little child
You can melt the ice that chills my body
You can dry my every tear
You can make the lonely hours disappear
You can make me free
You can make me rise
You can make me see
So open up my eyes
Don't you know my only real moments
Are the ones I spend with you
How I long to drink some wine again with you
I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with its heart full of song, yeah, yeah
Won't you color my eyes
I've been waiting so long
You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try
And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of
Whoo-hoo
Alright
Yeah
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Ow
I can take to the skies
I can soar like a bird with its heart full of song, yeah, yeah
Oh, won't you color my eyes
I've been waiting so long
You can make me free
You can make me cry
You can make it so much better
If you would only try
And if I must wait a lonely lifetime
Until I am with you, my love
I will wait but you'll be what I'm dreamin' of
Whoo-hoo, hoo-hoo
You can make me free
You can make me cry
I know you know that you can make it so much better
If you would only try, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoo-hoo-hoo
