The only thing I have to hold is a memory
And your eyes forgave when I could not forgive
A moment in your arms is a reverie
A picture of a day we can't relive
I've loved you for a lifetime, did you know?
And nothing could come close to, I'll never let you go
I've loved you for a lifetime
Now help me find the strength to carry on
Cause' I need your helping hand to keep me strong

When I cry, when I fall, when I stumble
I just close my eyes and see I'm not alone
You are always right by my side
I'll be fine, I'll get by, I'll survive
When I close my eyes and see I'm not alone
You are elsewhere, but right here in my mind

So we play our role and we play it well, but do you recognize?
How they rain is pouring down within these broken hearts
I've loved you for a lifetime, did you know?
And nothing could come close to, I'll never let you go
I've loved you for a lifetime
Now help me find the strength to carry on
Cause' I need your helping hand to keep me strong

When I cry, when I fall, when I stumble
I just close my eyes and see I'm not alone
You are always right by my side
I'll be fine, I'll get by, I'll survive
When I close my eyes and see I'm not alone
You are elsewhere, but right here in my mind!

I try not to go there, but you're on my mind day and night, day and night
So hard not to go there

When I cry, fall, stumble
I just close my eyes and see, I'm not alone, that I'm not alone
I'll be fine, I'll get by, I'll survive
When I close my eyes and see I'm not alone
You are elsewhere, but right here in my mind, right here in my mind
