Lyrics


It's already written that today will be one to remember

The feeling's the same as being outside of the law

Had to cry today

Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there


I'm taking the chance to see the wind in your eyes while I listen

You say you can't reach me but you want every word to be free

Had to cry today

Well, I saw your sign and I missed you there

And I missed you there


Had to cry today




Songwriters: Steve Winwood
