Survivor When Seconds Count
(Jim Peterik/Frankie Sullivan) Can't remember just how it ended I'm hazy as to how it began Crazy how our lives got so tangled Now we're simply silent partners again Secretly walking a tightrope Come fall into the arms of the past 'Cause it's still the same me Still the same you Who swore those promises would still ring true... So when your heart cries out In the middle of a sleepless night And you're suddenly so lonely When seconds count Count on me, count on me Special moments taken for granted Tenderness that found no reward Funny how you'd speak of forever Only to wind up restless and bored Can sweethearts so suddenly strangers Recapture in a moment the fire Well, it's still the same me Still the same you The same two children deep down it's true... So when your heart cries out In the middle of a sleepless night And you're lost and feelin' lonely When seconds count Count on me, count on me When your dream dies hard And you're stranded out on the boulevard I'll be there in a heartbeat When seconds count Count on me, count on me I'm going back in time to how it used to be (instrumental) Now it's a race with time Until I change your mind So when your heart cries out In the middle of a sleepless night And you're lost and feelin' lonely When seconds count Count on me, count on me When your dream dies hard And you're stranded out on the boulevard I'll be there in a heartbeat When seconds count Count on me, you can always count on me
