Babe
Styx · Babe: Collection [2011]
Babe I'm leaving, I must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going, I see it in your eyes
The love beneath your tears
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
So please believe me, my heart is in your hand
And I'll be missing you
Cause you know it's you, babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you, babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true, babe I love you
You know it's you, babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you, babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true, babe I love you
Babe I'm leaving, I'll say it once again
And somehow try to smile
I know the feeling we're trying to forget, if only for a while
Cause I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
But please believe me, my heart is in your hands
Cause I'll be missing you
Babe, I love you
Babe, I love you
Ooh, babe
The time is drawing near
My train is going, I see it in your eyes
The love beneath your tears
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
So please believe me, my heart is in your hand
And I'll be missing you
Cause you know it's you, babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you, babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true, babe I love you
You know it's you, babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you, babe
Giving me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true, babe I love you
Babe I'm leaving, I'll say it once again
And somehow try to smile
I know the feeling we're trying to forget, if only for a while
Cause I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
But please believe me, my heart is in your hands
Cause I'll be missing you
Babe, I love you
Babe, I love you
Ooh, babe
