Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I'm afraid now darling
I still look around for you
No matter who you are
No matter what you do
There's a place in my heart, for you
Here all alone,
Sitting here with my blues
Alone cold and scared now baby
Whoa, I've been missing you
All the time I've been thinking
Everything we went through
There's a place in my heart for you
Yes and I wonder, do you know how I feel baby
Believe me when I tell you now darling
This here is for real
Oh it's time for me to start over
Go and get something new
I'm so lost without you baby
I don't know what to do
Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do
Sometimes I'm afraid darling
Oh I'm still lookin' for you
No matter who you are
And no matter what you do
There's a place in my heart, for you
I've seen trouble come,
All the tears I've cried
Trouble coming baby
But time's on my side
There's a place in my heart, for you.
