Lover lyrics

I was green in my younger days
Full of plans but not much knowin`
Tried my hand at the game of love
But i was so naive
From the shelter of mama`s wings
Learned to fly but i was broken
By a woman of 25
When i was just 19

Didn`t know where to find myself
The rules they were not so simple
Makes no sense tryin` to face this world
`til you`re old enough to fight

Lover...you`re the reason i`ll be home tonite
Lover...never thought that i would see the light

I was hungry in `81
For a time i thought i`d found her
Found myself on the road again
Freezin` from the cold
Fortune found me in `82
With a girl from way down under
She seemed like the natural thing
I thought i knew for sure

Tried to hold her--i could not see
Past her eyes was a spell unbroken
Battered visions and frozen dreams
That would never see the light...now you`re my
Lover...you`re the reason i`ll be home tonite
Lover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime
Lover...never thought that i would see the light
Lover...you`re the reason i`ll be home tonite

It`s a long road to salvation
People say nothin` lasts forever
But when it comes to the bottom line
When i make it i`ll see you there...see you there

Once in a lifetime...

Now we`re lookin` on better times
It seems like a miracle
But i`ll never forget those days
I`m ready now to fight...for you my

Lover...you`re the reason i`ll be home tonite
Lover...someone told me it comes once-in-a-lifetime
Lover...never thought that i would see the light
Lover...you`re the reason i`ll be home tonite

Once in a lifetime...
