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 tɾy and [Bm]make him mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
For a long, long [Am]time
Caught in my [A]fears, blinking back the tears
I can't say you [A7hurt me, when you [A7never let me near
And, I never drew, one ɾesponse from you
All the while you [A7failed all [Em]of the girls you [A7never knew
'Cause I've done everything I know
To tɾy and [Bm]make him mine
And I think it's gonna hurt me
For a long, long [Am]time
Wait for [Dm7]the day, you'll go away
Nobody warned me of the price I'd have to [C7]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 tɾy and [Bm]change your mind
And I think I'm gonna miss you
For a long, long [Am]time
Yes I've done everything I know
To tɾy and [Bm]make you [A7mine
And I think I'm gonna love you
For a long, long [Am]time
