[Verse 1]
Once I heard long, long ago
That love's so hard to find
But if you got it, don't let go
All the ties that bind

[Verse 2]
The times when I can hold you
In my heart and in my mind
Are the times when I can really know you
And leave the rest behind

[Bridge]
Go on and make believe if you want to
It's a real good sign
And stay with me if you'd like to
Come put your hand in mine

[Verse 3]
Down on the sidewalk, out on the street
Needing a connecting line
You tie up with some other people you meet
And the day begins to shine
All the ties that bind

[Outro]
The day begins to shine
In my heart and in my mind
All the ties that bind
All the ties
The ties that bind
