Empathy

I want you to know that I care

That I appreciate you wanting to be there

I want you to know that I still think about you

I still dream about you

I wonder what you do



So give me a call

Tell me what's up

Are you doing Ok?

Is your life good enough?

Give me a call

I'll make it alright

All we need in life is a friend

A little empathy

Let it be me



Do you cry when I'm gone

Do you still think about me?

Think about that night

Back when you meant the world to me

The shooting stars with the fogged windowpaine

Where did it go?

All those feelings were so stong

I feel like tryin it all over again



So give me a call

Tell me what's up

Are you doing Ok?

Is your life good enough?

Give me a call

I'll make it alright

All we need in life is a friend

A little empathy

Let it be me



Tired smile go one for miles

When the wind blows so cold

Sleep softly for an hour

Then you know it's time for me to go

These roads go on for miles

I don't think they will ever stop

So when I give you some time in my life

Don't let it go, or give it all up



Give me a call

I am waiting for you

Just to catch up on the friendship

I still care about you

I still wonder how you are doing

If you still think about me

Maybe this life would still be worth living

If I gave you some empathy

Let your love shine down from above

Let your heart reach out

Try to find out what I am saying now

Give me a call, it would mean the world to me

I'll give you some empathy

Listen to your symphany

Just let your heart shine

And shine it for me
