Elusive happiness
Can be like promises
That rest so gently on our pillow
We stood out on the ledge
And leaned over the edge
And nearly fell right through that window

There were those who had us done by now
Baby, we've only just begun

Chorus:
The world may crash and burn
Or suddenly just cease to turn
But love goes on
It may look out of reach
And time may rob us like a thief
But love goes on
Our love goes on

No one may recognize
What lives behind our eyes
Sometimes the good times are the hardest
And when my strength is gone
It's you that I lean on
A light at the end of all my darkness

And in the end if I know nothing else
The answer is only in your arms

Chorus:
The world may crash and burn
Or suddenly just cease to turn
But love goes on
It may look out of reach
And time may rob us like a thief
But love goes on

And in the end if I know nothing else
The answer is right here in your arms
It's always in your arms

Chorus:
The world may crash and burn
Or suddenly just cease to turn
But love goes on
It may look out of reach
And time may rob us like a thief
But love goes on

Oh love goes on

It may look out of reach
And time may rob us like a thief
But love goes on
