Lyrics

You’re mine……

Verse
Searching, for that something that I’ll never find
In another place another time
Searching
For that something that I can believe
And without a doubt that I can see

Bridge
All the many roads I’ve travelled
None so far and none so much
It leads me back to you again

Verse
I’m searching
When I’m lost and need to find myself
Where this road will lead no one can tell
Searching
For that something that I’ve left behind
Make me see that I’ve been far too blind

Coda
I’ve got a woman who loves me, baby. x 4 (ad lib)

Verse
Searching
For that something that I’ll never find
In another place another time
Searching for that something that I left behind
Makes me see that I’ve been far too blind

Repeat bridge

Coda II
You’re mine (you’re something, baby)
Ad lib
