Hearts go astray, leaving hurt when they go
I went away just when you needed me so, oh yeah
Filled with regret I come back beggin' you
Forgive, forget, where'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 you'll be my bride
You'll never be denied everlasting love
From the very start, open up your heart
Be a lasting part of everlasting love
Ooh, ooh (real love will last forever) yeah yeah (real love will last forever)

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, if it turn on 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)

Open up your eyes, then you'll realize
Here I stand with my everlasting love
Need you by my side, girl you'll be my bride
You'll never be denied everlasting love
From the very start, open up your heart
Be a lasting part of everlasting love
Ooh, ooh (real love will last forever)
