Love will abide, take things in stride

Sounds like good advice, but there's no one at my side

And, time washes clean, love's wounds unseen

That's what someone told me, but I don't know what it means



'Cause I've done everything I know

To try and make him mine

And I think I'm gonna love you

For a long, long time



Caught in my fears, blinking back the tears

I can't say you hurt me, when you never let me near

And, I never drew, one response from you

All the while you failed all of the girls you never knew



'Cause I've done everything I know

To try and make him mine

And I think it's gonna hurt me

For a long, long time



Wait for the day, you'll go away

Not that you warned me of the price I'd have to pay

And, life's full of loss, who knows the cost

Living in the memory of a love that never was



'Cause I've done everything I know

To try and change your mind

And I think I'm gonna miss you

For a long, long time



Yes I've done everything I know

To try and make you mine

And I think I'm gonna love you

For a long, long time
