These days, flyin' off an empty page
Lonely-forever something in our way
But deep in my soul, your light, is all that I'm prayin' for
Salvation is in your eyes, but not for me

What will it take to make you want me?
What will it take to make you mine?
What will it take to make you love me, for all time?

It's funny, how nothing ever stays the same
Helpless-never knowin' who's to blame
There once was a time when my love, was somethin' worth fightin' for
And now it's all I can do to remind you, of what could be

[Chorus]

Baby I'd cross the darkest valley-I would ford the river wide
If that's what it takes, to make you love me, for all time
But I've been chasin' you too long...to think you'd rather I were gone
But I will wait for you forever-yes I will

You know it's true-I'll wait until you come around
But deep in my soul, your light, is all that I'm prayin' for
Salvation is in your eyes, but not for me

[Chorus]

Baby I'd cross the darkest valley-I would ford the river wide
If that's what it takes, to make you love me, for all time
What will it take?...what will it take?..what will it take?
Baby I'd cross the darkest valley-I would ford the river wide
If that's what it takes, to make you love me, for all time
What will it take?
