Richard Marx
Never Far Away
[Verse 1: Richard Marx, Richard Marx & Olivia Newton-John]
Every day I'd wake and ask myself
"Was I strong enough for you?"
Foolish doubts and fears took me away
I'm sorry now you never knew
[Verse 2: Olivia Newton-John]
For so long I've wondered where you are
Underneath a tapestry of stars
In my heart I knew you'd come again
I just didn't know where or when
[Chorus: Richard Marx & Olivia Newton-John, Olivia Newton-John]
Heaven waits for us through love's open door
And it's brought you back to me once more
Heart don't fail me now, now that you are near
Love was never far away from here
[Verse 3: Richard Marx]
I have tried to make some sense of this
I guess I needed time away
Once I realized how foolish I'd been
I couldn't waste another day
[Verse 4: Richard Marx & Olivia Newton-John, Olivia Newton-John]
I forgive you with my heart and soul
And now it's time for us lose control
Take me in your arms like you did before
Darling, don't talk anymore
[Chorus: Richard Marx & Olivia Newton-John]
Heaven waits for us through love's open door
And it's brought you back to me once more
Heart don't fail me now, now that you are near
Love was never far away from here
[Bridge: Olivia Newton-John, Olivia Newton-John & Richard Marx]
Somewhere deep inside I always knew
That I was meant to spend my life with you
You're the only answer to my prayers
I knew that love would lead us back somewhere
[Chorus: Olivia Newton-John & Richard Marx]
Through love's open door
And it's brought you back to me once more
Heart don't fail me now, now that you are near
Love was never far away from here
[Outro: Olivia Newton-John & Richard Marx]
Ooh, oh yeah
Mm-mm, mm
