Show Me the Way Back to Your Heart
Brian McKnight · Anytime
Had you in my life, I had you there to hold
And I remeber love warm as a summer day
But I lost you
And I lost my way
Now I'm in the rain
Begging you please, please
Chorus:
Baby, won't you show me the way back to your heart
Let me see a sign to know if I'm close or far
Lead me back to the road
That leads back to your arms
Back to your arms
Every night another lonely street
I walk down alone
Searching for the light
Your light to lead me home
Leave a candle in the window
And let it shine for me
Take my hand and take these tears away
I can't take the pain
I'm on my knees, begging you please
Chorus
Take my hand
Take me in your arms
I'm out in the dark
Down on my knees, begging you please
Chorus:
Show me the way back your to heart
Let me see a sign to know if I'm close or far
Lead me back to the road
That leads back to your arms
Back to your arms
Back to your arms
