There are many friends that I once knew   Who felt the same special thing that I share with you   They've grown apart in different ways   I wonder if someone hears as I start to say   Hoping love will last   I'm hoping love will last on and on      Why do I dream love's labours lost   I'm just a face with a name that you soon forgot   But when I'm scared the most, the nightmare ends   Then safe and sound I awake in your arms again   Hoping love will last   Yes I'm hoping love will last on and on      How can I go on alone when your love is all I've known   Sometimes we stay many miles away   You know you're here every minute throughout the day   Within my thoughts, so take good care   I only wait for the moments we both can share   Hoping love will last   Yes I'm hoping love will last on and on
