There are people waiting
and they are waiting all of their lives
for a chance
and they are watching
and hoping
they are praying just this one time
for just one dance
and if lovin somebody is all that it takes
that's such a small price to pay
it's something we need to do for our own sake
it's something we don't throw away
by going away
by going away

I see children playing
and they are having the time of their lives
in the sand
they don't know it
but I won't tell them
we are only here for a while to do what we can

and if loving somebody is all that it takes
that's seems like a small price to pay
it's something we need to do for our own sake
it's something we don't throw away
by going away
by going away

and I won't go away
I won't go away
oh, I won't go away
I won't go away
I won't go away
