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
