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
