Take on Me

Opening Lyrics:
I don’t know what
I’m to say I’ll say it anyway
Today’s another day to find you
Shying away
I’ll be coming for your love, okay?
Take me on (take on me)

How can it be
Believe me

To ease the pressure off
My ever worried mind
I fear the crazed and lonely looks

Opening Lyrics:
Here I am
And within the reach of my hands
She’s sound asleep and she’s sweeter now
Than the wildest dream could have seen her
And I watch her slipping away
But I know I’ll be hunting high and low
High
There’s no end to the lengths I’ll go to
Hunting high and low
High
There’s no end to lengths I’ll go
To find her again
Upon this my dreams are depending
Through the dark

Slowly learning that life is okay
Say after me

Opening Lyrics:
The way my broken heart is hurting me
I’ve got my pride and I know how to hide
All my sorrow and pain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
You won’t know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You’ll never know that I still love you so
Only heartaches remain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
Could never take away my misery
