heaven only knows

Singer: marx, richard

i watch the world go round and round

and my life goes by at the speed of sound

i walk the night

and i wonder just where i belong

oh

my heart is young

but my soul is old

i've never been one to do what i was told

my back to the wall

is the only place i can feel strong

oh

heaven only knows what lies before me

heaven only knows what all my searching is for

all my life i've waited for a miracle

but i can't ask for anything more

i like to think i'm a faithful man

to resist desire

i do all i can

i hope to die in the arms of the woman i love

oh

i've always wondered how to know right from wrong

looking for a reason to replace what is gone

but somehow the road just seems to lead right back to me
