This Time Around (written by Benjamin Orr and Diane Page ©1986)
So many times disappointed
Thrown about with a doubt you could never see
And out of nowhere it sounded…. something is happening
Someone who happened to hear it
Listened in silence and knew how to understand
One step ahead of a feeling, touching with loving hands
Now I know that things are going to be alright (this time, this time) this time around
Lonely days give way to warm and gentle nights (this time)
No need to keep second guessing
Racing in circles and trying to figure out
Answers to all of the questions… you had them all along (you had them all along)
Yes, I know that things are going to be alright (this time, this time) this time around
Lonely days give way to warm and gentle nights (this time)
Take away all the old doubts
‘Cause there’s something for you that comes from a different place
In a different way
Straight ahead, you and me every day,
You just got to be you… just believe
You know that love can give you what you need
Now I know that things are going to be alright (this time, this time) this time around
Lonely days give way to warm and gentle nights (this time)
Warm and gentle summer nights…
So many times disappointed
Thrown about with a doubt you could never see
Then out of nowhere it sounded straight to the heart of me
Now I know that things are going to be alright (this time, this time) this time around
Lonely days give way to warm and gentle nights (this time)
Yes, I know that things are going to be alright (this time, this time) this time around
Lonely days give way to warm and gentle nights (this time)
Warm and gentle summer nights
This time… it’s gonna be alright… this time
This time… I know it’s gonna be alright… this time
This time… it’s gonna be alright… this time
This time… I know it’s gonna be alright… this time
When i read the lyric and can hear the song I cant help but think how on par they are witj the first Cars cd and just how that imagery evokes so much. Diane and Benjamin were a great songwriting team.
