As I gather my thoughts
With the pieces of my heart
How long is forever
I'm not afraid and I won't be torn apart
We've had our time together
I'll start again at any cost
I've learned a lot from losing you
But I've got nothing if I'm lost
And I keep hoping
And I still believe in love
If I wait long enough
I know I'll be strong enough
I keep hoping
I believe in faith and trust
I'm gonna find a way
There are better days still ahead of us
I keep hoping

Now this candle burns low
It won't last through the night
But I've found peace
And I know it's all right
I try to understand
What's been missing in my life
Between the darkness and the daylight

No I'm not expecting miracles
I've got my doubts like any other one
I've learned a lot from losing you
But I've got nothing if I'm lost

And I keep hoping
And I still believe in love
If I wait long enough
I know I'll be strong enough
I keep hoping
I believe in faith and trust
I'm gonna find a way
There are better days still ahead of us
I keep hoping, I keep hoping
I keep hoping and praying baby
And I still believe in love
