They can change the way the river flows
They can change the way the story goes
But they will never change the love I have for you

Styles will come and the styles will go
But there's one thing I'll always know
They will never change the love I have for you

We may just be grains of sand on some distant shore
But as long as you're beside me, I don't need anymore

So, let 'em change the way the river flows
Let 'em change the way the story goes
But they will never change the love I have for you

We may just be grains of sand on some distant shore
But as long as you're beside me, I don't need anymore

So, let 'em change the way the river flows
Let 'em change the way the story goes
But they will never change the love I have for you

Styles will come and the styles will go
But there's one thing I'll always know
They will never change the love I have for you
