The nights were dark and long
I spent a million all alone
But I never once stopped loving you
My world was cold and still
My dreams lay unfulfilled
But I never once stopped loving you

I never once stopped believing we'd love again
The way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you

I could have loved another
But I chose the way and suffered
For I never once stopped loving you
And I prayed to God to guide you
Till I could be beside you
And I never once stopped loving you

I never once stopped believing we'd love again
The way we used to do
And today when you came back my patience was rewarded
For I never once stopped loving you
