THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
do you understand
how it feels
to call someone you love
and get no answer
when you know they are home
you get no answer
the phone rings and rings
but still no answer
my heart sings and sings
but still no answer
do you understand
how it feels
to call someone you love
and hear "the phone's been disconnected"
and to call some of her friends
and hear "we lost touch with her"
and to call her family
and hear that she's in trouble
and to call and call and call
and not be able to get through
to someone you love
do you understand
how it feels
to call someone you love
on a work number
and hear "she doesn't work here anymore"
do you understand
how it feels
to send presents to someone you love
to send presents to your kids
only to find out
they don't live there anymore
do you understand
how it feels
to chase someone you love
when they asked you to never leave them
when they begged you to please hold on
please don't go, please stay, please stay
but they are so confused
so ashamed of things they've done
so afraid they don't deserve
to be someone you love
they just run away...
do you understand
how it feels
to love someone you love
and not be able to show it
and not be able to reach them
and not know what to do
with the love
you would give everything to give
to someone you love
To Someone You Love
(Do You Understand?)
