	    We knew love would last
	       Dm9               Bb
	Every night   somethin' right
	        Gm7/C        C7
	Would invite us to begin the dance

Verse 2:

	For a while   to love each other was all
	We would ever need
	Love was strong   for so long
	Never knew that what was wrong, oh baby

	Wasn't right    we tried to find what we had
	'Til sadness was all
	We shared (we were scared)
	This affair would lead our love in two

	 Bb                 F/A      Dm7
	Somethin' happened along the way
