[Verse 1]
As I gather my thoughts
With the pieces of my heart
Tell me, how long is forever
I'm not afraid and I won't be torn apart
We've had our time together
Now I make my new beginnings
I'll start again at any cost
I've learned a lot from losing you
But I've got nothing if I'm lost

[Chorus]
And I keep hoping
And I still believe in love
If I wait long enough
I know I'll be strong enough
Yeah, I keep hoping
I believe in faith and trust
I'm going to find a way
There are better days still ahead of us
I keep hoping

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus][x2]
And I keep hoping
I still believe in love
If I wait long enough
I know I'll be strong enough
And I keep hoping
I believe, I believe in faith and trust
There are better days, better days, around of us now, still ahead of us, aah
I keep hoping, I keep hoping
I keep hoping
I keep hoping and praying baby, ooh
And I still believe in love

The name of the band Foreigner was chosen because half of the original members were from England, and the other half from the U.S. The group had quite a few people join and leave, but one of the originals, Mick Jones, (not Mick Jagger) stayed the whole time. Foreigner celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2017, with Mick still there.
