The story of you and I has beautiful memories 'Til lonesome and weary sighs start keepin' them company As soon as they all gather 'round, along comes misery Then here we go again, here we go again So if an old friend of mine comes knockin' upon my door All I could tell him now, he's already heard before It's better to love and lose, to never have played at all For sometimes losers are the only ones who win I'd rather fall apart than never knowing loving you For every broken-hearted lover, love was once anew And that will be the hope that gets me through eternity Along with all the memories that belong to you and me A fortunate man I am that you were a part of me The game has been played and I'm just shy of a victory The heartaches that carry on will soon be history Let's hope the world is full of losers in the end I'd rather fall apart than never knowing loving you For every broken-hearted lover, love was once anew And that will be the hope that gets me through eternity Along with all the memories that belong to you and me I'd rather fall apart than never knowing loving you For every broken-hearted lover, love was once anew And that will be the hope that gets me through eternity Along with all the memories that belong to you and me
