Hearts go astray, leaving hurt when they go I went away just when you needed me so Filled with regret I come back beggin' you Forgive, forget, Wwere's the love we once knew? Open up your eyes, then you'll realize here I stand With my everlasting love Need you by my side, girl to be my bride You'll never be denied everlasting love When other loves are gone, ours will still be strong, we have our very own Everlasting love Real love will last forever Real love will last forever Ah, ah Ah, ah Where life's river flows, no one really knows 'Til someone's there to show the way to lasting love Like the sun that shines, endlessly it shine You always will be mine, it's everlasting love When other loves are gone, ours will still be strong, We have our very own everlasting love Real love will last forever Real love will last forever Ooh Open up your eyes, then you'll realize here I stand With my everlasting love Need you by my side, girl to be my bride You'll never be denied everlasting love When other loves are gone, ours will still be strong, we have our very own Everlasting love
