Love will abide take things in stride Sounds like good advice But there's no one in my sight And time washes clean Love's wounds unseen That's one 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 Or the way you felt 'bout the girls you never know '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 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 you mine 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
