When Seconds Count lyrics
by Survivor



(Jim Peterik/Frankie Sullivan)Can't remember just how it endedI'm hazy as to how it beganCrazy how our lives got so tangledNow we're simply silent partners againSecretly walking a tightropeCome fall into the arms of the past'Cause it's still the same meStill the same youWho swore those promises would still ring true...So when your heart cries outIn the middle of a sleepless nightAnd you're suddenly so lonelyWhen seconds countCount on me, count on meSpecial moments taken for grantedTenderness that found no rewardFunny how you'd speak of foreverOnly to wind up restless and boredCan sweethearts so suddenly strangersRecapture in a moment the fireWell, it's still the same meStill the same youThe same two children deep down it's true...So when your heart cries outIn the middle of a sleepless nightAnd you're lost and feelin' lonelyWhen seconds countCount on me, count on meWhen your dream dies hardAnd you're stranded out on the boulevardI'll be there in a heartbeatWhen seconds countCount on me, count on meI'm going back in time to how it used to be(instrumental)Now it's a race with timeUntil I change your mindSo when your heart cries outIn the middle of a sleepless nightAnd you're lost and feelin' lonelyWhen seconds countCount on me, count on meWhen your dream dies hardAnd you're stranded out on the boulevardI'll be there in a heartbeatWhen seconds countCount on me, you can always count on me
