There lies the difference lyrics

I don't have to go out tonight

I don't have to guess who I'll see

I haven't been lonely

Since the first time we met

Now I know I'll never be

'cos I really care about you

And you really care about me

And there lies the difference

Between now and when I was free

This time love won't go away

The future's so easy to see

And there lies the difference

Between now and what used to be

There's no substitute for the truth

And I know you come straight from the heart

And our love stands out in the light of the day

Not only in the heat of the dark

'cos I really care ...

If I could step back in time

With offers of you to be mine

I'd only step back

As far as when you came to me

And this time love won't go away

The future's so easy to see

And there lies ...
