He said "I love you, and I always will"

She caught her breathe, her heart stood still

They'll always be together,at least until

The world turns

She went to college, he stayed home

Talked every night on the telephone

But, love can't live on words alone

When the world turns



The world we're livin' in keeps on spinning and

Slippin' through the hands of time

We're only here a while so enjoy the ride

And laugh and love and learn

That the world turns

Yeah, the world turns



The both went heir separate ways

He seldom thought about the good ol' days

Til he saw her picture on the wedding page

Man, the world turns



The world we're livin' in keeps on spinning and

Slippin' through the hands of time

We're only here a while so enjoy the ride

And laugh and love and learn

That the world turns

Yeah, the world turns



Ten years later on a southbound train

Her familiar voice calls out his name

Call it fate, chance or destiny but just the same

The world turns



The world we're livin' in keeps on spinning and

Slippin' through the hands of time

We're only here a while so enjoy the ride

And laugh and love and learn

That the world turns

Yeah, the world turns



And laugh and love and learn

And laugh and love and learn

That the world turns

Yeah, the world turns,

Yeah, the world turns

He said, "I love you and I always will"
