Lyrics

I Will Take You There

[Verse 1]

If only I could find a place

Where smiling strangers knew our faces

I would take you there

A place with constant melody

Where you and I could wander free

I would take you there

[Bridge]

Seems like such a waste of time

Just trying to unwind the facts of life

If I could find a place, I'd take you

Where the pain don't cut you like a knife

[Verse 2]

If only there were time enough

Or word enough, or rhyme enough

I would take you there

[Bridge]

Seems like such a waste of time

Just trying to unwind the facts of life

If I could find a place, I'd take you

Where the pain don't cut you like a knife

[Verse 3]

If only I could find a place

Where smiling strangers knew our faces

I would take you there
