They say that love lasts forever
That tenderness never dies
But now I see years together
Are only the shadows of moments in time
Now your heartbeat is a memory
And your soft touch is a sad dream
I want to be strong but there's nowhere to hide

Sometimes I get by, but only sometimes
The feelings subside, but only sometimes
Sometimes I get by, but only sometimes
The feelings subside, but only sometimes

I know now that time is healing
I know how to soothe my pride
But I cannot stop believing
Or chase away shadows of hope in my mind
Let the memory be a heartbeat
And the sad dream become so sweet
Give me strength to forget all my hurting inside

Sometimes I get by, but only sometimes
The feelings subside, but only sometimes
Sometimes I get by, but only sometimes
The feelings subside, but only sometimes

There are memories of those moments
But all memories start to fade away
There are slow dreams of forever
But the magic of dreaming is only sometimes

Ooh, sometimes
Ooh, sometimes
Ooh, sometimes
Ooh, sometimes
Ooh, sometimes
Ooh, sometimes
Ooh, sometimes
