Wanting You Desperately

England Dan and John Ford Coley

I remember loving you


From the first time


I looked into our eyes


You were standing there


Waiting for the walking light


And I remember staring through


The crowd you disappeared into


I remember the emptiness that I felt


When you were gone





(chorus)


And wanting you desperately


But never having you


It keeps me awake in the night


Wishing that you were beside me


Wanting you desperately


But never telling you


It's breaking my heart


And it's tearing me apart





I remember moving to


A new place


That was right above your room


And the happiness I felt


When I found I was close to you


And I remember the afternoon


My elevator, it opened to you


Oh what a feeling I had inside


When you turned and said "hello"





(repeat chorus)





I only wish that I was strong


I'd take a chance


I'd get you alone


Then I'd tell you the way I feel


That the love I have is real


Yes the love I have is real





(repeat chorus)
