Lyrics Set Me Free (Sebastian Cano-Besquet / Tyler Bates) Here I am, I wait for you Every day feels like a thousand years You’re the one that my heart longs for How long till you ‘re near (chorus) All I do is dream of you It’s your love that gets me through You’re the moon above my sea You’re the one who sets me free It’s as if our souls are one Though you ‘re far I feel you here with me One look into the stars - your face Is all that I see (chorus) All I do is dream of you It’s your love that gets me through You’re the moon above my sea You’re the one who sets me free I have learned from loving you One kiss, one touch, can last a lifetime I had so many walls surrounding me Before you were mine (chorus) All I do is dream of you It’s your love that gets me through You’re the moon above my sea You’re the one who sets me free You’re the one man who makes me feel Like I could touch the sky You’re the one who set me free And gave me wings to fly You’re the one man who makes me feel Like I could touch the sky You’re the one who set me free And gave me wings to fly
