What Has Come Between Us Written by Mark Gaddis Lead vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube Look at all the people Looking at their dreams Smiles upon their faces Tell me what they see Look at all the people Have they gone astray? Living for tomorrow With dreams of yesterday Lovely lady Tell me what you feel As a child were you mild Does it make it so unreal?

Lovely lady Feel so insecure When you give

How much longer Lord, I just don't know I just can't take it girl I'm breaking up o'er you After you leave me Where can I go? After you leave me What
