Ther are many friends that I once knew

who felt the same special thing that I share with you

They've grown apart in different ways

I wonder if someone hears as I start to say

Hoping love will last

I'm hoping love will last on and on



Why do I dream love's labour's lost

I'm just a face with a name that you soon forgot

but when I'm scared the most, the nightmare ends

then safe and sound I awake in your arms again -

hoping love will last

Yes I'm hoping love will last on and on



How can I go on alone when your love is all I've known

Sometimes we stay many miles away

you know you're here every minute throughout the day

within my thoughts, so take good care

I only wait for the moments we both can share

hoping love will last

Yes I'm hoping love will last on and on
