Lyrics
On the beach overseas
Icy water slaps at our knees
And the buoy was signaling
As if it knew we were far from home
Then you looked at me
And all I could see
Were the lights that were flickering
And suddenly we were all alone
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's not an impossible thing to do (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yet I'm helpless to do anything for you (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I can't keep from wondering
You were under a spell
Waiting for time to tell
If I could (if I could)
You know I would
Accept this moment and sympathize
Then you looked at me (looked at me)
And all I could see (when you looked at me)
Were the walls closing in again
And the desperation in your eyes
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's not an impossible thing to do (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I know there's a better life for you (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I can't keep from wondering
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
It's not an impossible thing to do (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I'm helpless to say anything to you (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh (ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
I want to see a better life for you
But I can't keep from wondering
