As originally performed by LINDA EDER:
I peer through windows
Watch life go by
Dream of tomorrow
And wonder why
The past is holding me
Keeping life at bay
I wander lost in yesterday
Wanting to fly
But scared to try
But if someone like you
Found someone like me
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same
My heart would take wing
And I feel so alive
If someone like you
Found me
So many secrets
I've longed to share
All I have needed
Is someone there
To help me see a world
I've never seen before
A love to open every door
To set me free
So I can soar
If someone like you
Found someone like me
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same
There'd be a new way to live
A new life to love
If someone like you
Found me
Oh, if someone like you
Found someone like me
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same
My heart would take wing
And I'd feel so alive
If someone like you
Loved me
Loved me
Loved me
