In the silence there's a memory
Of a young man failing once again
Each and everyone just disagreed
They all had good reasons to give
Like, "It's much to early in your life for me
I need someone who is strong
And though you're everything I'd ever need
Please understand you've got so many mountains to climb."

refrain:

I don't know how, but I'll make it back to you
How can I give up what my life's living for?
As long as there's some hope
I swear I'll find you once again
I'll make it back to you, I'll make it back to you

So desperate was the promise made
So impossible the deed
That with time the thoughts of her began to fade
And then vanish like a sweet dream in the night
She went on with life as years went by
And every now and then she'd smile
And think of what he said and wonder how
A young man such as he could ever need her so badly

refrain

So here I am, five years have passed away
Fate has brought me back again
I remembered that old vow today
Could it be I'll keep it after all?
Now you're smiling as you take my hand
And ask to know what I have learned
I say, "Only that it takes a lot of pain
To realize no other one is my perfect love
So if you would please hold me close until my dying day.

I don't know how, but I made it back to you
How could I give up what my life's living for
As long as there's a sun
I swear we'll never part again
I made it back to you, I made it back to you
