How do you last
When you can't get past
The ache in your soul
That's growing fast
Just open your heart and
BELIEVE
How do you cope
At the end of your rope
When faith starts to falter
And you're giving up hope
How do you stand
When you're not in command
You don't hold the answer
In the palm of your hand
Just open your heart and
BELIEVE
How do you pray
When the words run away
You know what you need
But not what to say
How do you find
A love left behind
The feelings stay strong
Over passage of time
Just open your heart and
BELIEVE
I'd stand under the pouring rain
Walk right back through the pain
Relive all the wasted years
And be ...
Thankful for the tears
I'd cry my way right through it
Feeling scared but I would do it
Endure all the ugly fears
And be ...
Thankful for the tears
I'd step into past regrets
Hurt my heart wants to forget
Face the image in the mirror
And be ...
Thankful for the tears
I'd stumble again and fall
Because your love is worth it all
Every path that led me here
Leaves me ...
Thankful for the tears
There
are times
When my mind has drifted
And I've lost my way
I hear you and I am lifted
There are times
When my heart has twisted
And it aches for you
I touch you and I am lifted
There are times
When my focus has shifted
And things seem unclear
I see you and I am lifted
For so long, I wondered, and hoped
Your life was good
And in truth, I longed to know
Just a little if I could
For so long, I kept your heart with me
As I still do now
And in truth, I longed to see
Your pretty face somehow
For so long, I cried and knew
You were gone from me
And in truth, it broke my heart
As my tears flowed free
For so long, your love was always there
And still so strong
And in truth, the strength it gives to me
Will carry me in our life's song
When hearts wait
Patiently
For their mate
Time means nothing
In their quest
When hearts wait
Silently
For that fateful date
Staying strong
And never rest
When hearts wait
No longer
And find their mate
Knowing they have found
The very best
It's us
With love re-found
It's us
With hearts unbound
It's us
With feet on the ground
It's us
With music and sound
It's us
With dreams abound
It's us
With arms to go around
It's Us ... the You and I we found
Once in my life I had one
A true love forever lost, it seemed
I cried and moved on
Of this love I often dreamed
But now love comes back
With fire as before
No force of man or nature
Will ever close that door
My dreams have been awakened
Once again, my heart is whole
I feel the love alive in me
Far deep within my soul
The sea is calm
The two have met
The wind is brisk
The sails are set
The trip is charted
The map is marked
The time has come
The lovers embark
The lovers come up
The feet on the deck
The horizon is straight
The land is a speck
The waves are gentle
The salt in the spray
The ship glides along
The course it will stay
Waiting and waiting
Wondering when
The best part of life
Will finally begin
Years have passed by
Yearning in my heart
To have you by my side
So the best part can start
The waiting is over
The wondering, too
The best part of life
Is being with you
A love so true
Life lived together
So long overdue
Come to me
From far away
Come to me
Forever starts today
Come to me
Till we're old and gray
Come to me
And remember that day
Come to me
When you said.....I'll stay
