Not For Nothing

I was ready for you

I'll never know how to thank you

Everything that you do

Is setting me free

All the wisdom in the world

Couldn't penetrate or ring true

If not for my little girl

It's not for nothing that I

I was waiting for you

Behind a high wall of poses

Now I look at life through

Your innocent eyes

Teach me how to be a child

You can slip through my defenses

Inhibition running wild

And mass confusion in my senses

Nearer, I really mean sincerer

Open your heart to me

I just wanted to let you know

That I want to be nearer

Let's make a start together

I couldn't let you go

I just wanted to let you know

The nearer you are

The clearer I see

The clearer I see

That the nearer you are

That the nearer you are

The happier I will be

I was ready for you

I'll never know how to thank you

Everything that you do

Is setting me free

All the wisdom in the world

Couldn't penetrate or ring true

If not for my little girl

It's not for nothing that I

It's not for nothing that I

Love you, want you, need you
