Notice the change in scenery
take a moment in time
to look around just once more
life goes on behind the closed doors
notice the lapse in memory
take a minute of your time
to remember what you're here for
life goes on behind the closed doors.
Notice the stillness of nature
you can spare just an hour
you can't live in myth and folklore
remember there's life behind the closed door
Notice my hand reaching out to yours
take it if you have the time
this is the way to open a closed door
life goes on for us, forevermore
We thought we had a love that's true
but now that it's over we shouldn't be blue
when others stand in our position
their feelings make a great transition
So as the yule tide upon us descends
let us begin and never end
but now that our love is in the past
let us begin a friendship which will last
Have you ever prayed
but to no avail?
Have you ever written
but received no mail?
Have you ever given
but nothing is returned?
have you ever been taught
but never learned?
If the answer to these are yes
then don't raise a friendly toast
but I can yell and scream and cheer
cause I have reason to boast
I have given God's greatest gift
ever sent from above
in turn received the same
the gift of which I speak is love.
You say your love is true
then why am I so blue
when I think of you
words of love you always say
in fact I heard them said today
why do I feel I must go my way
one thing you don't realize
I can see it in your eyes
that you're only telling lies
sometimes your lies even bring me joy
I'm not playing a game, I won't be coy
I won't be left like a broken toy
I am going to write a song
for only us to sing
I am reserving your finger
for a wedding ring
I sit, I wait
it's not early, it's not late
I sit, I wait
for love not hate
Your face, it's here
it's there, it's everywhere
your face, it's here
for a smile, not a tear
your hand, my hand
entwined across this land
your hand, my hand
lying together, getting tanned
I sit, I wait
it's not early, it's not late
I sit, I wait
for your love, not hate
As I enter this new life with you
I vow to love you only
I vow that I will comfort you
when you are sad or lonely
I need no special words
to show you that I care
I only vow that when you need me
I'll be always there
I'll be there to hold you close
to love you and kiss your face
I'll be there to help you along
when slower is life's pace
I have a special gift for you
it's only a simple ring
But oh, what happiness and love
this special gift does bring
I have one more vow to make
to love you all my life
today my world is beautiful
you've become my wife
Now if the world stopped spinning
Nations would topple to the ground
the world would be chaotic
nothing could be found
Now if the world stopped turning
Mountains would fall from place
people would be dying
and floating into space
Now if the world stopped spinning
nothing could exist
everything would succumb
nothing could resist
Now if your love for me should stop
or should you lose your yearning
my every hope and dream would die
My whole world would stop turning
