Lyrics - Just the Wanting

Just the Wanting
(from 1978's Not Shy)

Did you ever believe a dream was real
Like a magical surprise
So you live off what you feel
Just a glimpse of paradise
Then you wake and find it's gone
And all that's left you is the song

Just the wanting alone was worth it
Just the thrill and desire
Just the wanting alone was worth the fire
Just the wanting alone was worth it
Just the thrill and desire
Just the wanting alone...desire

I remember when I was seventeen
And my life had just begun
All I needed was a dream
And I always found me one
But the dream, it always fades
And the joy is in the change

Just the wanting alone was worth it
Just the thrill and desire
Just the wanting alone was worth the fire
Just the wanting alone was worth it
Just the thrill and desire
Just the wanting alone...desire
Just the wanting alone...desire
