(Piano and orchestra solo/suite)

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But, darlin’ when I hold you
Don’t you know I feel the same?
Ooo, yeah

‘Cause nothing lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it’s hard to hold a candle
In the cold November Rain

We’ve been through this such a long, long time
Just trying to kill the pain
Ooo, yeah

But, lovers always come, and lovers always go
And no one’s really sure of lettin’ go today
Walkin’ away

If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head just knowing that you were mine
All mine

So, if you want to love me
Then, darlin’ don’t refrain
Or, I’ll just end up walkin’
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time…On your own?
Do you need some time…All alone?
Ooo, everybody needs some time on their own
Don’t you know, you need some time…all alone

I know it’s hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But, if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn’t time be out to charm you?
Ooo, Oh

(Super guitar solo)

Sometimes I need some time…On my own
Sometimes I need some time…All alone
Ooo, everybody needs some time…On their own
Don’t you know you need some time…All alone?

(Super guitar solo continued)

And, when you’re fears subside
And shadows still remain
Oh yeah
I know that you can love me
When there’s no one left to blame

So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
‘Cause nothing lasts forever
Even cold November rain

(Orchestra and piano suite winding up)
