Movin' Away
Kenny Lynch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In every part of me
I can feel you moving away
I can feel you moving away
Away from me

Deep down inside of me
I can feel I'm losing you
I can feel I'm losing you
More every day
In every way

You're slipping away

You think I'm not right for you
But I'm gonna stay
I'm willing to fight for you

Deep in the heart of me
I can feel I'm losing you
I can feel you're moving away
Away from me

You're slipping away

Oh baby
I've got the power to lead you through life
I've got the loving you need every night
Baby I want you so
Why are you moving away

You're moving away
You're slipping away from me, yeah
You're moving away from me, yeah
More every day

Where did I go wrong
To lose your love
Was it something I said
Or something I'd done

Oh baby
I've got the power to lead you through life
I've got the loving you need every night
Baby I want you so
Why are you moving away

I've got the power to lead you through life
I've got the loving you need every night
Baby I want you so
Why are you moving away





I've got the power to lead you
You know I have, oh yeah

Kenny was a great music artist. He came out with great songs. As for this great song. I have only just heard it for the very first time. Due to listening to my Trojan records collection I have added to my hard drives. What a song this is. Thanks for uploading this for all to listen to and appreciate more of our legendary the late Kenny Lynch.
