Babe, it took a long, long time to get it out this way
Now, that the hurtin's over all I've got to say
(is) that I know
Sure as I am living
It takes more than forgiving
'cause it ain't been easy
I know you did your best to please me

How can you love me
After all the years we've tried
After all the tears you've cried
After our love has died

Babe, I've seen some pretty faces everywhere I go
I say now
Maybe I ain't the same person that you used to know

But I know
In my heart I'm livin'
For the love you've given
And the foolish thing about it
Is that I thought I'd live without it

How can you love me
When you know I've been with someone else
And I ain't too happy with myself
But I keep on comin' back around

Ooh, sometimes it feels like I'm gone forever
(I'm gone forever)
Ooh, it gets so hard to wait
(it gets hard to wait)
Ooh, we're far away and it ain't gettin' better
Well, I know that somethin' is surely wrong
When I feel this way, well I can't go on and on

Ambrosia is a soft rock band from Los Angeles discovered in 1971 by Los Angeles Philharmonic conductor Zubin Mehta, who featured the group as part of an All-American Dream Concert (Pops concert). It took them another four years to get signed to a record contract.

Between 1975 and 1982, Ambrosia racked up five Grammy nominations, toured with Fleetwood Mac, Heart, and The Doobie Brothers, and scored five US top 40 hits including two top fives: “Biggest Part Of Me” and “How Much I Feel”.

The group split in 1982, but reunited in 1989 and has continued touring and releasing compilations of their old hits. In 2015, the group released a new single, “Hopes and Dreams”, which was featured in the Fox series The Sparrows.
