(Bob McDill)   Danial O'Donnell & Mary Duff      Who can tell just how it starts   Angry words and broken hearts   Silently we sit apart   You and I.      But in awhile the anger's gone   And we forget who's right or wrong   Then one of us will end it all   With just a smile.      We believe in happy endings   Never breaking only bending   Taking time enough for mending   The hurt inside.      We believe in new beginnings   Giving in and forgiving   We believe happy endings   You and I.      --- Instrumental ---      Just a word is all it takes   And so it pass the silence breaks   And looking back it makes us ache   For what we've done.      And so we cling together now   And wonder why we're oh, so proud   When all that matters anyhow   Is our love.      We believe in happy endings   Never breaking only bending   Taking time enough for mending   The hurt inside.      We believe in new beginnings   Giving in and forgiving   We believe in happy endings   You and I...
