I am still your friend   Standin' by to catch you   If ever life should let you down   And you should fall      You don't need to pretend   If ever doubt should find you   I don't need to remind you   I'm there for you before and after all      I am who I am   And I would never fool you   I feel the same way you do   About honesty      But do we understand   How love is sometimes jaded   It keeps us separated   Even though we'll never part      So to be lovers   We've got to understand   Today is how today begins   Tomorrow's how it ends      And to be lovers   Some things we rise above   'Cause sometimes love is wonderful   But sometimes it's only love      Loving who I am   Is something that you've taught me   The kind of love you've brought me   Takes me through the day      And even though our minds   Are sometimes disagreeing   Our hearts they're still believing   We'll work it out and stay      So to be lovers   We've got to understand   Today is how today begins   Tomorrow's how it ends      And to be lovers   Some things we rise above   'Cause sometimes love is wonderful   But sometimes it's only love      I knew that one day   It would be only love   It would be only   It would be only love      I knew that in time   It would be only love   It would be only love      And to be lovers   We've got to understand   Today is how today begins   Tomorrow's how it ends      And to be lovers   Some things we rise above   'Cause sometimes love is wonderful   But sometimes it's only love      I knew that one day   It would be only love   It would be only   It would be only love      'Cause sometimes love is wonderful   But sometimes it's only love
