You've got reach out to your sensibilities

Hold on fast

Cuz' no where in the world is it carved in stone

That anything or anyone's gonna last 

‘Cept for the place deep down in your heart between your heaven 

And your own personal hell



When the moment of truth finally does arrive

It demands to know just where you're gonna dwell

It demands to know just where you're gonna live

It demands to know how much you're gonna give



Mine came to me one morning

In the form of a stranger out of the mist 

From the moment that I looked into that wild man's eyes 

Impossible to resist 

The stranger was so charming

Soft spoken and sincere 

And as he stared into my loving woman's eyes 

He whispered into my ear



He said, remember, remember

Remember as long as you live 

The key to the peace in your house, is the peace that you give



We let him into our lives 

Like fools opened up the door 

When there seemed no end to how much we could give 

He'd always take just a little bit more

My lover was so taken with his soften spoken ways 

Against my wishes, asked him to stay 

As I voiced my objection to the dark stranger's guise 

She turned and looked at me and said much to my surprise 



Honey, remember, remember

Remember as long as you live 

The key to the peace in your life, is the peace that you give



You can't stop a run away train 

You can't keep the rain from falling down 

You can't stop the lust that lurks in someone else's heart 

Like trying to stop the lightning, trying to catch a sound 

No matter how hard you might try 

No matter what it is you think you're gonna do 

You're out of your depth now, out of your control 

You're out of mind, it's no longer up to you 



Just remember, remember

Remember as long as you live

The key to the peace in your heart, is the peace that you give



He stayed with us all season 

Stayed with us too long 

When I came home unexpectedly from working late one night

Saw their silhouettes together, there, where the curtain was drawn! 

Deceit, deception splashed across that page 

As my tender love, ripped into jealous rage 

As I kicked in the door, I called out her name

Heard that wicked laughter, I heard that cold refrain 



Honey, remember, remember

Remember as long as you live

The key to the peace in your house, is the peace that you 

The key to the peace in your life, is the peace that you 

The key to the peace in your heart, is the peace that you give 



You've got reach out to your sensibilities

Hold on fast

Cuz' no where in the world is it carved in stone

That anything or anyone's gonna last 

‘Cept for the place deep down in your heart between your heaven 

And your own personal hell



When the moment of truth finally does arrive

It demands to know just where you're gonna dwell

It demands to know just where you're gonna live

It demands to know how much you're gonna give
