Stephanie Lyrics
George Benson
Lyrics
Can't you tell how much it hurts me
To see the tears roll down your face
I have never known such yearning
Have you any idea,
How much I'd like to take his place?
Stephanie, are you there?
Or are you living somewhere in the past
Hanging on to dreams
You should let fade away Stephanie,
in my arms, I wish that I could hold you tenderly
Is there any room for me Stephanie?
I lye down awake at night,
I toss and I turn
And try to think things through
Hoping you'll find out before it goes to far
With all of the love you have for him
He's got none for you
Stephanie, are you there?
Or are you living somewhere in the past
Hanging on to dreams
You should let fade away Stephanie,
In my arms, I wish that I could hold you tenderly
Is there any room for me Stephanie?
I love you more than you will ever know
But your heart belongs to somebody else
I shouldn't have to hide,
Wish I could find the nerve
To tell you what's going on inside of me
ooh -oh-oh...
Stephanie, in my arms,
I wish that I could hold you tenderly is
there any chance for me
Stephanie, are you there?
Or are you living somewhere in the past
hanging on to dreams you
Should let fade away
Stephanie, in my arms,
I wish that I could hold you tenderly
there any chance for me
Stephanie...
