Of course we have our differences

You shouldn’t be surprised

It’s as natural as changes

In the seasons and the skies

Sometimes we grow together

Sometimes we drift apart

A wiser man than I might know

The seasons of the heart

And I’m walking here beside you

In the early evening chill

A thing we’ve always loved to do

I know we always will

We have so much in common

So many things we share

That I can’t believe my heart

When it implies that you’re not there

Love is why I came here in the first place

Love is now the reason I must go

Love is all I ever hoped to find here

Love is still the only dream I know

So I don’t know how to tell you

It’s difficult to say

I never in my wildest dreams

Imagined it this way

But sometimes I just don’t know you

There’s a stranger in our home

When I’m lying right beside you

Is when I’m most alone

And I think my heart is broken

There’s an emptiness inside

So many things I’ve longed for

Have so often been denied

Still I wouldn’t try to change you

There’s no one that’s to blame

It’s just some things that mean so much

And we just don’t feel the same

Love is why I came here in the first place

Love is now the reason I must go

Love is all I ever hoped to find here

Love is still the only dream I know

True love is still the only dream I know
