Another Love Gone By - Eli Adams

So many 25th's of December Just as many 4th of July's And we're still holding it together It only comes down to you and I I know that you can still remember Things we said right from the start When we said that this could be special I'm keeping those words deep down in my heart Another year has gone by And I'm still the one by your side After everything that's gone by There's still no one saying goodbye Though another year has gone by I never been much for occasions But you never let a birthday go by Without announcing how much you love me But the truth was always there right There in your eyes And we're still holding hands when we're walking Acting like we've only just met But, how could that be, when there's so much history I guess that's how true lovers can get Another year has gone by And I'm still the one by your side After everything that's gone by There's still no one saying goodbye Though another year has gone by Another year has gone by And I'm still the one by your side After everything that's gone by There's still no one saying goodbye Though another year has gone by

What a strange night And yet it feels right How was I to know? She would show me Who I could really be I can't keep holdin' on I've gotta let it go Was that freedom freedom When we were dancing' on the floor I felt freedom, sweet freedom Like I've never felt before And I know that I need more Meeting big wheels Makin' big deals It's all I've ever known In the board room With a silver spoon I've got everything I need But somehow I'm still alone Give me freedom, freedom It can all be rearranged I want freedom, freedom And I know it might sound strange I believe that I can change And when I look into the future I can see another me, and I'm free I've got an unfamiliar feelin' now And it's flowin' over me Should I come clean? What I really mean is I think I need to make things right I took some wrong turns But I can still learn If I try a new direction I have a feelin' I just might Find some freedom, freedom If I could do it all again I want freedom, freedom And I know it might sound strange Give me freedom, freedom It can all be rearranged I believe that I can change
