I've known that before it's come and it's gone

For all that it's been, it's never been very long

What always seems to come is goodbye



But I believe in this love, it's not like before

My journey is done, I've come to the end of the road

'Cause without you there's just nowhere to go



And this time love won't walk out on me again

This time I know I can win, sure as the stars in the sky

You and I



With each gentle kiss, I'll show you I missed

The warmth of your touch and now it's plain to see

I need the love you're giving to me



I won't measure the love I feel inside

For one thing I've learned, it may only last for a while

Or maybe for the rest of our lives



And this time love won't walk out on me again

This time I know I can win, sure as the stars in the sky



And this time I really believe that I found

Love at its best and so now

Love is forever this time



Now that you're ready, I'll never again be alone



And this time love won't walk out on me again

This time I know I can win

Sure as the stars in the sky



And this time I really believe in God above

Love at its best and so now don't ever leave me behind

No, not this time, no, not this time

No, not this time, no, not this time
