There's a road ahead
Past a stormy sea
There I will return
That's just what you mean to me
'Neath a darkening sky
Where no soul is free
There my lover lies
That's just what you mean to me
Just exactly what you mean to me
What you mean to me
Just exactly what you mean to me
Have no need for fate
I've got destiny
All things come to pass
That's just what you mean to me
Just exactly what you mean to me
What you mean to me
Just exactly what you mean to me
I contemplate every moment
Let's make history
Tired of sharing my loneliness alone
That's just what you mean to me
Just exactly what you mean to me
Someday soon you'll know
One day soon you'll see
Why I sing this song
That's just what you mean to me
Just exactly what you mean to me
What you mean to me
Just exactly what you mean to me
This whole crazy world
Don't amount to more than a hill of beans
Tired of sharing my loneliness alone
I wanna live my dreams
I contemplate every moment
Let's make history
It's time now to be the future
That's just what you mean to me
Just exactly what you mean to me
What you mean to me
Just exactly what you mean to me
It's time now to be the future
Let's make history
