Lyrics

Helplessly, Hopelessly
I?m helplessly, hopelessly lost in you, baby,
Every time you hug and squeeze me tight .
I?m helplessly, hopelessly lost in you, baby,
Nothin? in my life ever seemed so right.
I think about you when I go to sleep at night,
When I wake up in the mornin? you?re on my mind.
I helplessly, hopelessly lost in you, baby,
And yet its in you I?m found.

I?m helplessly, hopelessly lost in you, baby,
Each and every time you hold my hand.
I?m helplessly, hopelessly lost in you , baby,
Sometimes its almost more than I can stand.
Since we?ve been together nothin?s been the same,
Every breath I take I want to whisper your name.
I?m helplessly, hopelessly lost in you, baby,
And yet its in you I?m found.

I?ve traveled so many roads in my life,
Down the highways and byways and back roads too.
Every river I cross, every mountain I climb
Seems to lead me straight to you.

I?m helplessly, hopelessly lost in you, baby,
Every time I see you lovely face.
I?m helplessly, hopelessly lost in you, baby,
Sometimes I think I?m gonna vanish without a trace.
Every time you turn your love light on me
Makes this lame man walk, makes this blind man see.
I?m helplessly, hopelessly lost in you, baby,
And yet its in you I?m found.
