I had a welcome mat
But you never came around 
I left my light on 
But you were nowhere to be found 
I thought an afterthought 
That maybe I was forgotten 
You never asked me for my name 
But I wasn't even in the book 

Seems like a love that tried 
Somehow was on our side 
We fell in love so deeply 
An everlasting kind of love 

And love was on our side 
There was no place to hide 
It seemed to mean so much 
An everlasting kind of love 

Years ago I was at your door
Asking you for directions 
You said you loved another 
And I wasn't even mentioned 
As I played piano 
I'd get this eerie feeling 
You were never really there 
I guess I must be dreaming 

Seems how I really tried 
But our love was denied 
Somehow it was a lie 
An everlasting kind of love 

Then you took me for a ride 
I was so hurt inside 
You smiled and then you cried 
An everlasting kind of love 

Mom and Dad said I sure was lost
Since all the time make-believin' 
Just what is the difference - 
In my heart I'm always there 
Huggin' you in the art room 
I took it out on a shopping cart 
Screamin' in my mind it isn't so 

Guess that's the way it goes 
You seemed to love I suppose 
But I was at the end of my rope 
An everlasting kind of love 

I can't tell you how I loved
The shining stars above 
With no ill thoughts about ya 
An everlasting kind of love 

I took a walk
I was so in love 
But I had nowhere to go 
Everywhere I looked - I swear - I saw you in every 
window 
Til I died inside from being all alone 
Your love carried me on 
I just kept on dreaming of your love 

Seems like a love that tried 
Somehow was on our side 
What could we have done to save 
An everlasting kind of love 

And love was on our side 
It seemed to mean so much 
Couldn't - couldn't - Lost touch 
An everlasting kind of love 

Seems like a love that tried 
Somehow was on our side 
We fell in love so deeply 
An everlasting kind of love 

Seems like a love that tried 
Somehow was on our side 
What could we have done to save 
An everlasting kind of love 

Oh yeah 
Oh no 
Oh no 
No, no, no
