On your own for so long
Thoughts of love are from the past
All alone
With all your doubts and fears
Love just never seemed to last

You say that love’s not for our time
And that it’s simply an agreement
that you sign
Well all that may be true
But still, I say to you

If I dry every tear
And soothe every sorrow
Will you believe that love can still be true?
If I right every wrong
And share your tomorrow
Will you believe the love I have for you?

Maybe I see myself in you
The sadness shows right through your smile
Some of us play at love
Oh yes I know that’s true
But please just listen for awhile

I know what you believe
People play with your emotions
Then they leave
Now all that may be true
And yet I say to you

If I dry every tear
If I heal every heartache
Would you believe that love can still be true?
If I give you my love
Wrapped in a promise that won’t break
Will you believe the love I have for you?
