I watch the world go round and round
And my life goes by at the speed of sound
I walk the night and I wonder just where I belong, ohMy heart is young but my soul is old
I've never been one to do what I was told
My back to the wall is the only place I can feel strong, ohHeaven only knows what lies before me
Heaven only knows what all my searching is for
All my life, I've waited for a miracle
But I can't ask for anything moreI like to think I'm a faithful man
To resist desire and do all I can
I hope to die in the arms of the woman I love, ohHeaven only knows what lies before me
Heaven only knows what all my searching is for
All my life, I've waited for a miracle
But I can't ask for anything more, no moreI've always wondered how to know right from wrong
Looking for a reason to replace what is gone
But somehow the road just seems to lead right back to me, to meHeaven only knows what lies before me
Heaven only knows what all my searching is for
All my life, I've waited for a miracle
But I can't ask for anything moreHeaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
