Lyrics

It's Up to You

When the breeze between us calls, love comes and lingers into our lives

And the leaves begin to fall, you point your finger at me

I love you-

I love you-

In the sadness of your smile love is an island way out to sea

But it seems so long ago we have been ready trying to be free

And it's up to you

Why won't you say?

Make our lives turn out this way

If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose

No reason to hide from what's true

In the world of me and you

All is forgotten when we're inside

And the words that pass us by

I am not listening, all of it's lies

And it's up to you

Why won't you say?

Make our lives turn out this way

If they knew, that we have got nothing to lose

No reason to hide from what's true

That we have got nothing to lose
