Lyrics

Here I am and within the reach of my hand she's sound asleep

And she's sweeter now than the wildest dream.
Could have seen her
and I watch her slipping away

But I know I'll be hunting high and low
high
There's no end to the lenghts I'll go to
hunting high and low
high
There's no end to the lenghts I'll go to find her again.

Upon this my dreams are depending through the dark

I sense the pounding of her heart next to mine.
She's the sweetest love I could find

So I guess I'll be hunting high and low
high
There's no end to the lenghts I'll go to
high and low
high
Do you know what it means to love you?

I'm hunting high and low

And now she's telling me she's got to go away.

I'll always be hunting high and low
only for you

Watch me tearing myself to pieces
hunting high and low
high
There's no end to the lenghts I'll go to

For you I'll be hunting high and low.
