[Verse 1]
When I look in the mirror of time
Often find that I'm doing it over
But when I look at the tears from her eyes
Don't regret a single word that I've told her

And when we're distant
I'm sure you'll think things over
I hope you'll miss it
But I'll still have an open shoulder
For you to lean and laugh and cry on, little girl

[Verse 2]
How I wish that the start of the end would begin
That she'd need all that I've shown her
I know the cycle of life could begin
And in time I'd be stuck starting over

And with the distance
I hope faith don't roll over
If you don't miss it
I'll still have an open shoulder
For you to lean and laugh and cry on, little girl

[Bridge]
Why does love have to end?
Why do hearts have to break and mend?
Why do they tell me you won't be the only one?
[Outro]
They don't believe that love can last forever
Do you believe that love can last forever?
I believe that love can last forever
Do you believe that love can last forever?
I believe that love can last forever
