You, oh you
Are still a beauty to behold
You've been my muse
Every story that I've told
Oh, take me back some years
To when we were young without a fear

All along you have been the song that I wanna hear

I've been down the darkest alleys
Been to the bottom where the angels cry
Thought it had all been, all for nothing
Until I saw you at the finish line

Forgive me, for the ways I've let you down
Won't you give me, another chance to make you proud
Oh, flash forward twenty years
Forever keep me young and my conscience clear

All along, you have been the song
That I wanna hear, ooh yeah, ah

I've been down the darkest alleys
Been to the bottom where the angels cry
(Where the angels cry)
Thought it had all been, all for nothing
Until I saw you at the finish line

Yeah, yeah
Yes, I've been down the darkest alleys
Been to the bottom where the angels cry (Angels cry)
Thought it had all been, all for nothing
Until I saw you at the finish line (At the finish line)
Oh, I've been down the darkest alleys
Been to the bottom watching life go by (Watching life go by)
Thought it had all been, all for nothing
Until I saw you at the finish line
(At the finish line, yeah, oh, woah)

I've been down the darkest alleys (Down to the bottom)
Been to the bottom where the angels cry
Thought it had all been, all for nothing
Until I saw you (Saw you) at the finish line
