looking for lyrics to a Phil Collins song - it's kinda old and sappy...

I think he did it for a movie called Against All Odds...?

here are some lyrics I know:

you're the only one
who really knew me at all
take a look at me now
there's just an empty space...


Thanks!!!

SONG: AGAINST ALL ODDS (TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW)

How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me, when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to
face

I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to
face
Take a good look at me now, 'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho

Just take a look at me now

AGAINST ALL ODDS (TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW) - Phil Collins


How can I just let you walk away, just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh
You're the only one who really knew me at all

How can you just walk away from me, when all I can do is watch you leave
Cos we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I've got to
face

I wish I could just make you turn around, turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you, so many reasons why
You're the only one who really knew me at all

So take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, 'cos there's just an empty space
But to wait for you, well that's all I can do and that's what I've got to
face
Take a good look at me now, 'cos I'll still be standing here
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take, oh, oho

Just take a look at me now

>here are some lyrics I know:

One more line that I know should belong to the chorus (or at least it
seems):

Turn around and see me cry
>you're the only one


>who really knew me at all

>take a look at me now

>there's just an empty space...

And I'm not sure of the last line aformentioned... I think it
should've been:

"We're up against all odds..."

Something like that.... could somebody get the whole lyrics to this
particular classic from Collins.

I've always liked the song... sappy? Hmm I dunno.
