Well I know we've both come so far to be here And we're both twice the man we used to be Cause we've made it through the fall and through the winter And I've got myself together as you can see Though more than once I've doubted your decision You once told me a man must do what he's got to do Things are so bad, after all I've made it this far And it's clear to me you're hangin in there too But I wish for all my life you could have been there When I climbed up high & fell down far below And I wish you could have seen the fire in my eyes When I found my dreams and refused to let them go But for now I've got to say goodbye again And go back into my life without you Ya know, it never dawned on me what I was missing Until I had a glimpse of what I never knew And now we leave as such a civil people Like business men after a rendezvous And we say next time we'll stay here a little longer And we'll discuss all the things we've just got to do But I wish for all my life you could have been there When I climbed up high & fell down far below And I wish you could have seen the fire in my eyes When I found my dreams and refused to let them go Maybe someday my dreams will be complete And we both will know what it would have been But you've got to promise me you won't accept defeat That you'll run this race until we meet again That you'll run this race until we reach the end But I wish for all my life you could have been there When I climbed up high & fell down far below And I wish you could have seen the fire in my eyes When I found my dreams and refused to let them go
