There was a time when angels cared.
He was my world, when love was fair. 
Withered the marriage rose in the suburban house,
Our baby’s grown-up, she’ll be leaving soon.

It all just went, I walked to find
cotton rope, a stranger’s mind
It’s taking this long to know –
Love was the letting go 
I try to pretend, but know I live in lies…

Reaching out for someone to hold my heart,
Searching every face I see since we’re apart.
Someone in this life, there’s someone there for me,
Reaching out to hold my heart!

I looked away – the years went by
Caught in a web of love’s last lie
Working to pay the bills, losing the loving thrill –
Going through motions now that passion’s died

Reaching out for someone to hold my heart,
Searching every face I see since we’re apart.
Love never dies, it lies through his eyes,
Losing him was just a start

I would go on, as if nothing was wrong,
I’d believe one more day in a world without love
Is more than I can stand…
It’s more than I can stand

But after we saw this game
Our love was rearranged,
I’ve tried to pretend, but now I realize 

Reaching out for someone to hold my heart,
Searching every face I see since we’re apart.
Someone in this life, there’s someone there for me,
Reaching out to hold my heart!
Reaching out to hold my heart!
Reaching out to hold my heart!
