heaven only knows lyrics

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, oh

My 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, oh

Heaven 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

I 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, oh

Heaven 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 more

I'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 me

Heaven 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

Heaven knows
Heaven knows
Heaven knows
