Starting Over
Natalie Cole · Other Songs - Natalie Cole
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forevermore
We were just too young to know
We fell in love and let it go
So easy to say the words goodbye
So hard to let the feelings die
I know how much I need you now
The time is turning back somehow
As soon as our heart and souls unite
I know for sure we'll get the feeling right
And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
Cuz every time I look at you
I know were starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain
Welcome home my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again
If we never lived alone
Then we might have never known
All the time we spent apart
All we did was break each other's heart
And when I hold you in my arms I promise you
You're gonna feel a love that's beautiful and new
This time I'll love you even better
Than I ever did before
And you'll be in my heart forever
And now we're starting over again
It's not the easiest thing to do
I'm feeling inside again
Cuz everytime I look at you
I know were starting over again
This time we'll love all the pain away
Welcome home my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again
This time we'll chase all the rain away
Welcome home my lover and friend
We are starting over, over again
We are starting over, over again
