You Could Have Been With Me lyrics

This mornin' Joey had me wonderin' why he made love like he was sayin' goodbye
Tonight I found out what was goin' on
Waitin' there for me when I came home (I came home)
It was a letter from Joey, he left it on the door, he don't live here anymore
I got a letter from Joey, he said it's over and out, got to live without Joey
Joey had a kind of innocence, what he's doin' now it don't make sense

What if my heart
Had walked right past you
What if my eyes
Had never asked you
To come and take the chains
That kept me weighted down
If you never saved me
Oh, I know I'd still be

Chorus
Walking in sinking sand
Flying with no place to land
Oh, I'd be lost
Searching for you
Heaven would be out of reach
My soul left incomplete
That's where I'd be
Without your love

For your eyes only can see me through the night.
For your eyes only I never need to hide.
You can see so much in me
so much in me that's new
I never felt until I looked at you.
For your eyes only
only for you.
You'll see what no one else can see

Now I'm breaking free.
For your eyes only
only for you.
The love I know you need in me

The fantasy you've freed in me

Only for you

You're the seventh son of the seventh son
Maybe that's why you're such a strange and special one
You can't even seem to love yourself
And with a few exceptions, not anybody else

You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink
You can give a man your whole heart and soul, but you cannot make him think

Chorus:
You could have been with me instead of alone and lonely

You're the seventh son
Of the seventh son
Maybe that's why you're such a strange
And special one
You can't even seem to love yourself
And with a few exceptions
Not anybody else

You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make him drink
You can give a man your whole heart and soul
But you cannot make him think

You could have been with me
Instead of alone and lonely
