I'm Counting On You Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

The night is so wild 

And downstairs the child is sleeping 

Her spirit is free 

For more than an hour 

I have walked in the rain 

I've been wondering 

What will she be? 

But where are the heroes? 

Where are the dreams that I had 

When I was young? 

Am I hoping in vain 

Just to think 

She could change anything? 

Well, I'm counting on you

I'm counting on you 

To bring that sweet gentleness to your world 

And all that you do 

My generation is losing its way 

We don't know 

What we're leaving for you 

So may there be millions to feel like you do 

Oh, my love 

There is so much to know 

There is so far to go 

But you are not alone 

When this is your world 

And I'm counting on you 

I'm counting on you 

Photos 

Come to me 

Turn to me 

Give me your eyes 

When you see 

The mysteries of time 

Here there are those 

Who just live in the past 

They will never 

Let history lie 

And this sad little island 

Is breaking my heart with it's dark 

Shades of green 

And as hard as I try 

I just cannot see why this should be 

There is so much to know 

There is so far to go 

But you are not alone 

When this is your world 

And I'm counting on you 

I'm counting on you 

I'm counting on you 

I'm counting on you
