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
