There Lies the Difference

Kenny Rogers

I don'€™t have to go out tonight
I don'€™t have to guess who I'€™ll see
I haven'€™t been lonely
Since the first time we met
Now I know I'€™ll never be.

'€˜cos I really care about you
And you really care about me
And there lies the difference
Between now and when I was free.
This time love won'€™t go away
The future'€™s so easy to see
And there lies the difference
Between now and what used to be.

There'€™s no substitute for the truth
And I know you come straight from the heart
And our love stands out in the light of the day
Not only in the heat of the dark.

'€˜cos I really care

If I could step back in time
With offers of you to be mine
I'€™d only step back 
As far as when you came to me.

And this time love won'€™t go away
The future'€™s so easy to see
And there lies
