And now you seem so far away
When only yesterday
I thought that we were gettin' closer
It's like I'm hangin' on a line
Hopin' you'll take time enough to notice
That we both could understand

Do you wanna live alone?
Lookin' past the places where
A seed of love could grow and
The future could be lastin' love

But you just keep slippin' away
Why you wanna keep on slippin' away?
Somewhere in your heart I know
You will see that I am on your side
I am on your side

I can't believe it takes so long
'Cause something that's so strong
Can surely take away the weakness

Maybe I haven't made it clear
But day after day and year by year
I'll keep sayin'
When my imagination's gone
There's a warm reality
That helps me make the space
Between us so much closer

And you won't keep slippin' away
You ain't gonna keep on slippin' away
Somehow in your mind, I know
You will see that I am on your side
I am on your side

Don't keep slippin' away
Don't keep slippin' away, away

When my imagination's gone
There's a warm reality
That helps me make the space
Between us so much closer

And you won't keep slippin' away
I won't let you keep on slippin' away
Somehow in your mind, I know
You will see that I am on your side
And I'm never gonna let you slip away

I won't let you keep on slippin' away
Somehow in your mind, I know
You will see that I am on your side
And you won't keep on slippin' away
I won't let you
I won't let you
I won't let you
Turn around and go
I won't let you slip away
