No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table
Though I would have liked to begin
So much that I want to say, but I feel unable
You leave and you slam the door
Like you've done many times before
And I cry and I feel so helpless  

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me 'till the end  

Outside I can see the sun trough the open window
Inside everything feel so cold
What's wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go
Somethimes when I just can't cope
I cling to a desperate hope
And I cry and I feel like dying  

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me 'till the end  

Daydreams of a better life, but I have to wake up
The sound of a key in the door
You smile and I realize that we need a shake up
Our love is a precious thing
Worth the pain and the suffering
And it's never too late for changin'  

One man, one woman
Two friends and two true lovers
Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times
One man, one woman
One life to live together
One chance to take that never comes back again
You and me 'till the end  

You and me till' the end
