And now you seem so far away When only yesterday I thought that we were getting closer It's like I'm hangin' on a line Hopin' you'll take time enough to notice That we both could understand Do you want to live alone Lookin' past the places where A seed of love could grow and the future could be lastin' love But you just keep slippin' away Why you wanna keep on slippin' away? Oh, somewhere in you heart, I know You will see that I am on your side I am on your side I can't believe it takes so long 'Cause something that's so strong can surely take away the weakness Maybe I haven't made it clear But day after day and year by year, I'll keep sayin' When my imagination's gone, there's a warm reality That helps me make the space between us so much closer And you won't keep slippin' away You ain't gonna keep on slippin' away Somewhere in your mind, I know You will see that I am on your side I am on your side (Don't) don't keep slippin' away Don't keep slippin' away, away ♪ When my imagination's gone, there's a warm reality That helps me make the space between us so much closer And you won't keep slippin' away I won't let you keep on slippin' away Somewhere in your mind, I know You will see that I am on your side And I'm never gonna let you slippin' away I won't let you keep on slippin' away Somewhere in your mind, I know You will see that I am on your side And you won't keep on slippin' away I won't let you I won't let you I won't let you Turn around and go I won't let, please stay
