We all know how the story begins
How we fall so easily in
To love

Then a boy breaks a girl's heart
A girl breaks a boy's heart
Goodbye is a very hard word to forget
But I think I finally met
The girl

To take away those yesterdays
Oh she loves me, she told me so
As a tear came to her eye
And I love her, I will, I know
Love her for the rest of my life
Once more I'm feeling like I'm out of control
'Cause the girl's got a serious hold
On me

And part of me says run away
But I want to stay
Should I be up front or cool
Which way is playing the fool
The only time I know what's right
Is when I hear her telling me
Somewhere there's a star in the sky of every night
Shining for the love of hearts
The light of that star, like the hand of a friend
Leading me back to love again
If you love her let her know
Let her see all the secrets in your heart
If she loves you she'll only love you more
As she find out who you are
