Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How was I so blind, to see the writing on the wall
And baby, every night I long to be right where you are
Tell me how do I get there
How do I get there
After all is said and done, I'll still be loving you
Like the rising of the sun, baby I'll be holding onCan't we just go back, when our love was strong
Tell me how do I get there
How do I get there
Back to you
The coldest wind could never dry
The tears that touch my face
Will you ever show a sign
Cause baby, a thousand words could never say the way that I feel
Tell me how do I get there
How do I get there
After all is said and done, I'll still be loving you
Like the rising of the sun, baby I'll be holding on
Can't we just go back, when our love was strong
Tell me how do I get there
How do I get there
Back to you
I just can't make it alone
Tell me where did we go wrong
Cause lately, baby
I can't make it by, make it by, without your love
Without your love, ooh, oh no
After all is said and done, I'll still be loving youLike the rising of the sun, baby I'll be holding on
Can't we just go back, when our love was strong
But tell me how
Tell me how do I get there
Back to you
Back to you
