Love, don't fail me now
It's been so long since I held you close to me
All that I'd lost in you I've found
I'd never let a love inside me
But love's so bright
It shines even through my darkest night
I've come for you to comfort me
Girl, let me in

And if I never had to open my eyes
She'd always be there (be there!)
And she would still be laying here by my side
She'd always be there (be there!)
Come on, somebody, won't you tell me why
(Don't fail me now)
And if I never had to open my eyes

It seems so long since I've been gone
And still this fire it keeps burning in me
Don't be afraid of yesterday
And stop those tears from falling
'Cause love sometimes
Can lift you up or take you down the line
I've come for you to comfort me
Won't you take me in

And if I never had to open my eyes
She'd always be there (be there!)
And she would stay forever by my side
She'd always be there (stay there!)
Come on somebody, won't you tell me why
Don't fail me now!
Don't fail me now!
You didn't have to love me that way
You didn't have to got the distance

And if I never had to open my eyes
She'd always be there (be there!)
And she would stay forever by my side
She'd always be there (be there!)
And I would never have a reason to cry
(Don't fail me now)
Come on somebody, won't you tell me why
(Don't fail me now)
Never have a reason to cry
(Don't fail me now)
Oh! You gotta tell me why!
Tell me why!
