LYRICS:

“Back To Me”

(Tony Lucca & Melissa Polinar)

I.

I was down,

broken by the wind’s blow

lookin’ to a shadow

for a place to hide

you were there

offering a warm hand

helped me to understand

that you were on my side

and though I’d dream us clear onto forever

for I’d come running if ever you should call

as seasons bring new songs to sing

new hearts to hold on to

I’ll trust true Love can weather all we put her through

tomorrow I’ll let go as you go free

and pray your heart will lead you back to me

II.

we were young,

willing, though unable

to think of Love as stable,

too proud to compromise.

though in time,

we found our way together

never to surrender

love would soon arise

still somehow you’re left wondering and wanting

you’ll seek the best, the rest you’ll criticize.

just when you decide you’re through

you’ll hear me call your name

realize your heart just doesn’t ached the same

tomorrow I’ll let go as you go free

and pray your Love will lead you back to me

—

as seasons bring new songs to sing

new hearts to hold on to

I’ll trust true Love can weather all we put her through

I’ll be there when you’re done being free

and trust our Love will lead you back to me

promise you’ll always come back to me…
