hardest thing I've ever done
The way that people come and go,
through temporary lights,
I used to say no promises,
But freedom only helps you say goodbye.
It took a while for me to learn
that nothing comes for free
The price I've paid is high enough for me
I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
of a quite imperfect world
Here I am with pockets full
But none of them will comfort me tonight
I'm wide awake at 4 a .m. without
Hanging on a hope, but I'm alright
I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
of a quite imperfect world
I know I need to be in love
I know I've wasted too much time
of a quite imperfect world
thank you, thank you so much.
Here's another little story about a song.
In 1983, this Spanish singer
came to me in Los Angeles
that I'd written with Hal David in 1973,
and Engelbert Humperdinck
and so many people had done it,
I couldn't play him anybody's version,
so I went home and I recorded the
And then I went down to the hotel,
I've just written a brand new
to all the girls I've loved before,
he fell in love immediately, yeah, yeah, so.
