LYRICS 

[Verse 1]

Here I am

And within the reach of my hands

She's sound asleep

And she's sweeter now than the wildest dream

Could've seen her

And I watch her slipping away

But I know I'll be

[Chorus]

Hunting high and low

High

There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

Hunting high and low

High

There's no end to lengths I'll go

[Verse 2]

To find her again

Upon this, my dreams are depending

Through the dark

I sense the pounding of her heart

Next to mine

She's the sweetest love I could find

So I guess I'll be

[Chorus]

Hunting high and low

High

There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

High and low

High

Do you know what it means to love you?

[Bridge]

I'm hunting high and low

And now she's telling me she's got to go away

[Chorus]

I'll always be hunting high and low

Only for you

Watch me tearing myself to pieces

Hunting high and low

High

There's no end to the lengths I'll go to

[Outro]

Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and low
