When she entered the room, they didn´t know she was there
She sighed as she watched him gently stroke his wife´s hair
How could they still have a love so intimate?
They´d been together for years but it seemed they´d just met
She wondered - what is the mystery to what these two have?
What is the secret to making love last?
She absently brushed a tear from her face
As she longingly wished that this was her fate
a love everlasting – no more heartache
If you find yourself thinking that you´re down for the count
and that love has passed you by
When your heart feels like is breaking
and all you want to do is cry
Shake off the blues – don´t live in the past
Convince your heart that love can last
You had a bad run, but you have another chance
Let yourself believe that love can last
You´ve got to believe that love can last
The afternoon´s conversation played back through her mind
Could it be possible that she´d been so blind?
It´s not working for me - is what he´d said,
Strange how just a few words could bring such dread
She wondered – what happened, what she didn´t have
What is the secret to making love last?
He walked away as tears streamed down her face
As she longingly wished it was all a mistake
No love everlasting – only heartache
She´d sworn off love earlier that day
But now she´s not so sure
As she watches her parents
Whose love seems so pure
Should she try one more time?
Could she change the past?
She wants to believe
That love can last
