[Verse 1]
Turning back the hands of time
Holding on to misty memories
Chasing shadows through the night
Trying to find my happy ending
[Pre-Chorus]
Reaching out for another chance at heaven
We could still find a way if we try
[Chorus]
Baby, believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
We were more than lonely drifters in the dark
I can remember the sun inside
Love held us tight
I need to feel your magic here tonight
Instead of it tearing apart
[Verse 2]
Diamonds shining in the night
Lying soft and warm together
Only images survive
Can't my dreams go on forever?
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, there's still time to lock away your sadness
Let the secrets of love start to smile
[Chorus]
Baby, believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
Baby, bring back all the passion to my heart
I can remember the tender days
All the love we made
Can't you see in me your magic here tonight?
[Bridge]
Lonely spirits seem to whisper in the wind
It's a silent song that's never meant to be
Since the dawn of time, the mystery never ends
We could find forever if we let love rise again
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why can't we reach for another chance at heaven
We can still find the way if you try
[Chorus]
Baby, believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
Baby, bring back all the passion to my heart
I can remember the tender days
All the love we made
I need to feel your magic here tonight
[Outro]
Baby, believe in the mystery
Like it used to be
More than lonely drifters in the dark
(We were so much more)
Sun inside, love held us tight
I need to feel you, baby, need...
