Starting New

when i picture myself
the way i'd rather be
how much stronger in a job and wiser than me
or at least that's what i try to tell myself
but when i'm with you
i believe it's true

and it's been a while
since i've had a dream
i don't pretend to know what they mean
but lately i've been dreamin' just of you
and if you offer your assistence
i will put up no resistence

and we could be allright
if you need a place to stay
we can talk all night
and i believe it when you'd say
we could be just like
just like startin' new

i've been standing in line
for a piece of happiness
a kind gentle word and a soft caress
but i didn't think i'd earned it for myself
and now you're having me see
that ain't the way it's gotta be

and we could be allright
if you need a place to stay
we can talk all night
and i believe it when you say
we could be just like
just like startin' new
