Lyrics
Lately all you can feel is the rain falling
Maybe you feel this world is to blameyou’ve been crying.Onlyonly inside will you know
but still you wonder sometimes:Where canwhere can you go? – Can you gocan you go? –
Remember me– ohwhen you feel this way
And you need someone to lean on.And if you’re ever– ever too far away
Remember me– I am the one– remember me– I am the one.Remember meI am the one who sees in your eyes
Remember meI am the one who sees in your eyes.
Remember me– I am yqur guardian angel
and I’ll never let you fall.And if you’Fe everever In fear of danger–Remember me– I am the one– remember me– I am the one–
Who will turnturn all your darkness to light in the morning.You’ll learn when yov’re too hard on yovrself yov can call me.Remember me– ohwhen you feel this way. . .
Remember meI am the one who sees in your eyes
Remember meI am the one who sees in your eyes.I can see youyeah!Remember meI am the one who sees in your eyes
Remember meI am the one who sees in your eyes.
