Someone Like You
Frank Wildhorn & Leslie Bricus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I peer through windows, watch life go by
Dream of tomorrow and wonder why
The past is holding me, keeping life at bay
I wander, lost in yesterday
Wanting to fly but scared to try

But if someone like you found someone like me
Then suddenly nothing would ever be the same
My heart would take wing and I'd feel so alive
If someone like you found me

So many secrets I long to share
All I have needed is someone there
To help me see a world I've never seen before
A love to open every door
To set me free so I can soar

If someone like you found someone like me
Then suddenly nothing would ever be the same
There'd be a new way to live, a new life to love
If someone like you found me

Oh, if someone like you found someone like me
Then suddenly nothing would ever be the same




My heart would take wing and I'd feel so alive
If someone like you loved me, loved me, loved me
