(Michael McDonald & Randy Goodrum)



Sometimes it seems to me

A long and tender love

Is just not meant to be

It's just not of this world



The more we live with this love

The more we learn to ignore

We keep our feelings inside

Until we open the door



[Chorus:]

It's in my heart, it's in your eyes

It's waving us on

Till everything stops, everything dies

(we can't stop now, we've come this far)

Don't let me down



'cause in its darkest hour

A love that's still worthwhile

Will always stand its ground

If we just realize



The more we give to this love

The more we know that it's right

But if the time ever comes

That we should look for that light



[Chorus]
