Lyrics
FOR YOU

Are you thinkin' of me now?
Are you wond'rin' what I'm doin'?
Are you asking yourself how
I got the nerve to stop foolin', around?
Do you miss my lovin' ways,
All the things I tried to do?
And all those special nights and days?
Do you think I've found somebody new?
Don't you realize that the tears I cry are for you?
And this emptiness was once happiness, for you?
Did you know I wear the ring
You gave to me before you left?
Your songs I wrote, I still sing.
Do you ever try and guess--about me?
Would you listen to my words?
Could I have a second chance?
Out of spite, I made you hurt.
I want to apologize, but I can't.
Don't you realize that my goodbye was said in anger?
My pride was hurt and it was not the first time I cried for you.
Do you wish on stars to have me back?
If you do, I want to know.
I have to know how you'd react
If I told you I still love you so.
Don't you realize that I had to try to live without you?
But now I miss your touch so very much; I'm crazy for you.
Are you thinkin' of me now?
Are you wond'rin' what I'm doin'?
Are you asking yourself how
I got the nerve to stop foolin', around?
