[Verse 1]
They say love keeps on growin'
It's the one thing that I've felt I've always known
'Cause it wouldn't matter where you're goin'
'Cause where you are is where I want to go

[Chorus]
I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
Blowin' 'round but when
You let somebody in
They might fade away

[Verse 2]
Tell me why the road keeps turnin'
When everything you want is straight ahead
And everything I thought worth learnin'
Is forgotten when I see your face instead

[Chorus]
I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
Blowin' 'round but when
You go and let somebody in
They might fade away

[Bridge]
Oh you say it's so overrated
Holdin' on to yesterday
Along the way
It can get too complicated to stay

[Chorus]
I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
If you think that you are only
A shadow in the wind
You better think again

I know why the heart gets lonely
Every time you give your love away
And if you think that you are only
Feathers in the wind
Blowin' 'round but when
You let somebody in
They might fade away
Fade away
