Believe In Me

Dan Fogelberg · Portrait: Music Of Dan Fogelberg From 1972-1997 [1997]

If I could ever say it right

And reach your hostage heart despite

The doubts you harbor then you might

Come to believe in me.



The life I lead is not the kind

That gives a woman peace of mind

I only hope someday you'll find

That you can believe in me.



Those other loves that came before

Mean nothing to me anymore

But you can never be quite sure

And will not believe in me.



Too many hearts have been broken

Failing to trust what they feel

But trust isn't something that's spoken

And love's never wrong

When it's real.



If I could only do one thing

Then I would try to write and sing

A song that ends your questioning

And makes you believe in me.



Too many hearts have been broken

Failing to trust what they feel

But trust isn't something that's spoken

And love's never wrong

When it's real.



If I could only do one thing

Then I would try to write and sing

A song that ends your questioning

And makes you believe in me

Makes you believe in me

Oh, you can believe in me.
