Love will abide

Take things in stride

Sounds like good adviceBut there′s no one at my side

And time washes clean

Love's wounds unseen

That′s what someone told me

But I don't know what it means

'Cause I′ve done everything I know

To try and make you mine

And I think I′m gonna love you

For a long, long time

Caught in my fears

Blinking back the tears

I can't say you hurt me

When you never let me near

And I never drew

One response from you

All the while you fell

All other girls you never knew

′Cause I've done everything I know

To try and make you mine

And I think it′s gonna hurt me

For a long, long time

Wait for the day

You'll go away

Knowing that you warned me

Of the price I′d have to pay

And life's full of flaws

Who knows the cause?

Living in the memory

Of a love that never was

'Cause I′ve done everything I know

To try and change your mind

And I think I′m gonna miss you

For a long long time

'Cause I′ve done everything I know

To try and make you mine

And I think I'm gonna love you

For a long long time
