Love will abide. Take things in stride. Sounds like good advice but there’s no one at my side; And time washes clean love’s wounds unseen; That’s what someone told me but I don’t know what it means. Refrain: Cause I’ve done everything I know to try and make you mine And I think I’m gonna love you for a long long time. Caught in my fears blinking back the tears; I can’t say you hurt me when you never let me near. And I never drew one response from you All the while you fell over girls you never knew. Repeat Refrain: Wait for the day you go away knowing that you warned me of the price I’d have to pay; And life’s full of loss who knows the cost Living in the mem - o - ry of the love that never was. ’Cause I’ve done everything I know to try and change your mind And I think I’m gonna miss you for a long long time. Coda: ’Cause I’ve done everything I know - To try and make you mine And I think I’m gonna love you for a long long time.
