I could count the hours since you said Goodbye Or I could linger in the memory of your kiss I could find another, give it one more try But she would seem like nothing after this... By now you're somewhere over Paris Sailing on a journey that's never through And me I'm here in the heartland (in the heartland) Trying hard and wondering why (why) You're over Paris, but I'm not over you And every time you go away, every time you're Gone I wonder darling what I'm gonna do Feel like a singer without a song Without your saving grace that pulls me Through... By now you're somewhere over Paris Sailing on a journey that's never through And me I'm here in the heartland (in the heartland) Trying hard and wondering why (why) You're over Paris, but I'm not over you And it's time like these that try men's souls It's times like these you bleed Times like these you don't need to be told What it is that you really need And tonight, well I found the answer As I watched you walk away Was there something I could have said or done Something to make you stay... So set a course to somewhere and sail on through But just remember, only your heart can set you Free And maybe you've forgotten Or really never knew That everything that touches you touches me... By now you're somewhere over Paris Sailing on a journey that's never through And me I'm here in the heartland (in the heartland) Trying hard and wondering why (why) You're over Paris, but I'm not over you You're over Paris, but I'm not over you You're over Paris, but I'm not over you Somewhere over Paris Somewhere over Paris (to fade)
