A Step in the Right Direction

Writer:  Harvey Blau



There've been so many times you've broken my heart
And so many nights I've cried alone
And though now you're back with me, how do I know that you'll be
The one who'll love and be my very own

    You say you're back to stay, that you'll never go away
    You say you'll stand up and never fall
    You say you'll love me well, but only time will tell
    It's a step in the right direction, but that's all

Forgiveness is something that's locked down deep inside
And it takes a long, long time to come out
First you'll have to go my way and be with me every day
And learn what true love's all about

    You say you're back to stay, that you'll never go away
    You say you'll stand up and never fall
    You say you'll love me well, but only time will tell
    It's a step in the right direction, but that's all
