EVERYTIME I CRY I SEE YOUR SMILE AND

EVERYTIME I CLOSE MY EYES I REALISE THAT

EVERYTIME I HOLD YOUR HAND IN MINE

THE SWEETEST THING MY HEART COULD EVER FIND

AND I HAVE NEVER FELT THIS WAY

SINCE THE DAY I GAVE YOUR LOVE AWAY

[CHRISTIAN:] SAVE ME, I'VE FALLEN FROM MY DESTINY

YOU AND I WERE MEANT TO BE

I'VE THROWN IT ALL AWAY

NOW YOU'RE GONE

IT'S TIME FOR ME TO CARRY ON

BUT BABY I JUST CAN'T GO ON

WITHOUT YOU BY MY SIDE
