Elusive happiness
Can be like promises
That rest so gently on our pillow
We stood out on the ledge
And leaned over the edge
And nearly fell right through that window



There were those who had us done by now

Baby, we've only just begun



[Chorus:]

The world may crash and burn

Or suddenly just cease to turn

But love goes on

It may look out of reach

And time may rob us like a thief

But love goes on

Our love goes on



No one may recognize

What lives behind our eyes

Sometimes the good times are the hardest

And when my strength is gone

It's you that I lean on

A light at the end of all my darkness



And in the end if I know nothing else

The answer is only in your arms



[Chorus:]

The world may crash and burn

Or suddenly just cease to turn

But love goes on

It may look out of reach

And time may rob us like a thief

But love goes on



And in the end if I know nothing else

The answer is right here in your arms

It's always in your arms



[Chorus:]

The world may crash and burn

Or suddenly just cease to turn

But love goes on

It may look out of reach

And time may rob us like a thief

But love goes on



Oh love goes on



It may look out of reach

And time may rob us like a thief

But love goes on
