From Caribbean Sunset1984

Lyrics

Where There's a Will

[Verse 1] Where there's a will there's a way that words can convey That in the heart lies the start of confusion I didn't mean to offend when I called you my friend That was my way of saying there's more smoke than fire So goodbye, goodbye girl Goodbye, goodbye girl You could have had it all, had the world [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] I hear this in ringing in my ears The laughter and the tears I should have known they'd be back again I should have seen it land in the clear, clear light In the clear, clear light Shining through the darkest heart That lives in the darkest night [Verse 2] I knew I'd see you again and again and again 'Cause your ways are so easy to fathom You think your life is so empty but it's really so full All the things you never thought mattered So goodbye, goodbye girl
