Lyrics

Written by neil diamond, tom hensley, and alan lindgren

If you love me
Say you love me
These are words we find hard to share
Would you trust me?
Could I trust you?
Will you always want me there?
Or is this just some game called 'nothin' goes right'?
Is this just me to blame
For making these endless nights?
And who do we think we are
Some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No we're not
Haven't got all that time
Got to find a common ground
Not the other way around
For you and i
We need to walk on common ground
We need to make a lovin' sound
While we got time
We got to try

Were you loving?
Was I caring?
These are feelings too hard to measure
I'll be loving
You be caring
Will it always feel this way?
Or will we find the way to make it alright?
Will that sun come someday
To wake up this endless night?
And who do we think we are
Some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No, we're not
Haven't got all that time
Looking for a common ground
Not the other way around
For you and i
Got to find a common ground
Need to make a lovin' sound
While we got time
You and i

And we still have the time to make it work right
Make that sun come to shine
And wake up this endless night
And who do we think we are
Some kind of cosmic shooting stars?
No we're not
Haven't got all that time
Got to find a common ground
Not the other way around
You and i
Got to walk on common ground
Got to make some lovin' sounds
We got time to look for some common ground
Find a lovin' sound
You and i
Lookin' for a common ground
Not the other way around
For you and i
Got to walk on common ground
You and i
