Lyrics

Movie version

If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could find a way...
What I would do, what I would give if you
Returned to me, someday, somehow, someway...
If my tears could bring you back to me...

Full version

How will I start tomorrow without you here?
Whose heart will guide me when all the answers disappear?
Is it too late? Are you too far gone to stay?
Best friends forever, should never have to go away!

What will I do? You know I'm only half without you!
How will I make it through?

If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could find a way...
What I would do, what I would give if you
Returned to me, someday, somehow, someway...
If my tears could bring you back to me...

I'd cry you an ocean if you'd sail on home again,
Waves of emotion will carry you I know they can!
Just let love guide you and your heart will chart the course,
Soon you'll be drifting to the arms of your true north!

Look in my eyes, you'll see a million tears have gone by,
And still they're not dry!

If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could find a way...
What I would do, what I would give if you
Returned to me, someday, somehow, someway...
If my tears could bring you back to me...

I hold you close and shout the words I only whispered before
For one more chance, for one last dance
There's not a thing that I would not endure

If only tears could bring you back to me,
If only love could find a way...
What I would do, what I would give if you
Returned to me, someday, somehow, someway...
If my tears could bring you back to me...
