[Verse 1]
Shattered dreams, worthless years
Here am I encased inside a hollow shell
Life began, then was done
Now I stare into a cold and empty well
Many sounds that meet our ears
The sights our eyes behold
Open up our merging hearts
And feed our empty souls

[Chorus]
I believe when I fall in love with you it will be forever
I believe when I fall in love this time it will be forever

[Verse 2]
Without despair we will share
And the joys of caring will not be replaced
What has been must never end
And with the strength we have won't be erased
The truths of love are planted firm
They won't be hard to find
And the words of love I speak to you
Will echo in your mind

[Chorus][x3]

Peter Kenneth Frampton was the founding guitarist of supergroup Humble Pie, but is most famous for the success that followed his solo live album, Frampton Comes Alive!, which exploited the relatively unknown talkbox guitar effect to create a unique sound that became strongly associated with Frampton himself.

Frampton was something of a musical prodigy, getting his start in the English pop band The Herd when he was 16. The Herd had several hits in the UK, before Frampton joined with other pop stars to form Humble Pie.
