Song Lyrics

He's always on my mind
From the time I wake up
Till I close my eyes
He's everywhere I go
He's all I know
Though he's so far away
It just keeps getting stronger everyday
And even now he's gone
I'm still holding on
So tell me, where do I start
Coz it's breaking' my heart
Don't want to let her go
[CHORUS:]
Maybe my love will come back someday
Only heaven knows
And maybe our hearts will find a way
But only heaven knows
And all I can do is hope and pray
Coz heaven knows
My friends keep telling me
That if you really love him
You've got to set him free
And if he returns in time
I'll know he's mine
But tell me where do I start
Coz it's breaking my heart
Don't want to let her go
Repeat chorus except last line
[BRIDGE:]
Coz heaven knows
Why I live in despair
Coz wide awake or dreaming
I know he's never there
And all the time I act so brave
I'm shaking inside
Why does it hurt me so?
[REPEAT CHORUS]
Heaven knows? Heaven knows.

Luther Vandross, Reed Philip Vertelney
