the search is over

how can I convince you
what you see is real
who am I to blame you
for doubting what you feel

I was always reachin'
you were just a girl I knew
I took for granted the friend I have in you

I was living for a dream
loving for a moment
taking on the world
that was just my style

now I look into your eyes
I can see forever
the search is over
you were with me all the while

can we last forever
will we fall apart
at times it's so confusing
these questions of the heart

you followed me through changes
and patiently you'd wait
till I came to my senses
through some miracle of fate

now the miles stretch out behind me
loves that I have lost
broken hearts lie victims of the game
then good luck it finally struck
like lightning from the blue
every highway leading me back to you

now at last I hold you, now all is said and done
the search has come full circle
our destinies are one
so if you ever loved me
show me that you give a damn
you'll know for certain
the man I really am
