Tonight there’ll be no next time
No second chances here
So bury it deep down
Where no one ever fears
I watch as you slowly start to fade away
Into the distance
Recesses of my mind
It’s buried deeper down where no one will ever find
I’ve walked a hundred miles
For one of your infectious smiles
I’ve circled ‘round the dial
I’ve paid my dues endured my trials
But I watch as you slowly start to fade away
Mirages are for the desert
I just don’t understand
Does this ever happen
To any other man
I watch as you slowly start to fade away
Into the distance
Recesses of my mind
It’s buried deeper down where no one will ever find
I’ve walked a thousand miles
For one of your infectious smiles
I’ve circled ‘round the dial
I’ve paid my dues endured my trials
But I watch as you slowly start to fade away
Come ‘round this time next year
I’ll be a different man
The one that’s full of “I can’t”
Simply says “I can”
I’ve walked a million miles
For one of your infectious smiles
I’ve circled ‘round the dial
I’ve paid my dues endured my trials
And now I’m sitting here wearing a victorious smile
I catch you ‘fore you slowly start to fade away
