Of course we have our differences

You shouldnâ€TMt be surprised

Itâ€TMs as natural as changes

In the seasons and the skies

Sometimes we grow together

Sometimes we drift apart

A wiser man than I might know

The seasons of the heart



And Iâ€TMm walking here beside you

In the early evening chill

A thing weâ€TMve always loved to do

I know we always will

We have so much in common

So many things we share

That I canâ€TMt believe my heart

When it implies that youâ€TMre not there



Love is why I came here in the first place

Love is now the reason I must go

Love is all I ever hoped to find here

Love is still the only dream I know



So I donâ€TMt know how to tell you

Itâ€TMs difficult to say

I never in my wildest dreams

Imagined it this way

But sometimes I just donâ€TMt know you

Thereâ€TMs a stranger in our home

When Iâ€TMm lying right beside you

Is when Iâ€TMm most alone



And I think my heart is broken

Thereâ€TMs an emptiness inside

So many things Iâ€TMve longed for

Have so often been denied

Still I wouldnâ€TMt try to change you

Thereâ€TMs no one thatâ€TMs to blame

Itâ€TMs just some things that mean so much

And we just donâ€TMt feel the same



Love is why I came here in the first place

Love is now the reason I must go

Love is all I ever hoped to find here

Love is still the only dream I know

True love is still the only dream I know
