Face to Face - Michael Franks

I’ve been waiting to meet you

I know you’re out there somewhere

Are you waiting to meet me too?

Every morning I start out

Maybe today

Every night turn my heart out

Maybe tomorrow

When I wander in dreamtime

I feel you come closer

Tell me is it the same with you?

You stand on a cliff overlooking the ocean

Below on the beach

I am caught in slow motion

And there we’re face to face

Together again for the first time

Face to face

You’re the one I can love for a lifetime

Face to face

I can see that it might take a while

Face to face

To escape from the curve of your smile

All alone in a desert

I follow some footprints

Only hoping they lead to you

Always slightly behind you

Just out of frame

In a hurry to find you

Before the dream ends

There’s confusion and hardship

But it never matters

'Cause I’m doing it all for you

And I know as I search these wide open spaces

You wait under a palm tree

At the oasis

Cancel loneliness

Capture happiness

Let that heartache and pain go

Love feels awful good

Like I knew it would

All superlatives true

Never better now

It’s forever now

Finally over the rainbow

I was blind I see

Fate was kind to me

When it cast me with you
