Back another life ago when our hearts were open Oh, back when we could still agree Back when the future that we had was full of hope and You and i we got down on our knees (and said) Put your hand in mine And i'll be there anytime When it feels like you could use a friend I'll be there to lift you up again You can reach out to me anytime And put your hand in mine I couldn't even stay away one night I noticed you left on the light And i've only got one thing to say If you're not too tired and it's not too late Put your hand in mine And i'll be here all the time When it feels like you could use a friend I'll be here to lift you up again Would you reach out to me one more time And put your hand in mine Would you reach out to me just one more time And put your hand in mine
