Lyrics for Song: Against All Odds (Take A Look At Me Now)
Lyrics for Album: Love Songs - A Compilation... Old And New [2004]
How can I just let you walk away,
just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ohoo
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me,
when all I can do is watch you leave
'Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain,
and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me,
just the memory of your face
Well, take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
and that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around,
turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you,
so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now,
Well, there's just an empty space
There's nothing left here to remind me,
just a memory of your face
Now take a look at me now,
There's just an empty space
But to wait for you, is all I can do
and that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now,
'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
It's the chance I've got to take .
Take a look at me now
