Lyrics
After all the years of joy
And pain that we've been through
No, I never saw a journey without you
You left me here with our memories
While you found new discoveries
It's hard to fill this emptiness inside
Can I close the door on love?
Can I say goodbye to all we've dreamed of?
We're like lyrics in a song
We've been right and we've been wrong
Can I close the door on love?
I wanted to be the one to make them happy
The way they were dancing in the streets
I saw my father burst with pride
The joy he felt, the tears he cried
I wanted to bring that kind of joy
To build a love too strong to destroy
Can I close the door on love?
Can I walk away from those I'm so proud of?
We're all lyrics in one song
This is where we all belong
Can I close the door on love?
I wanted to be a knight in shining armor
I wanted to be a hero for all time
But there's a lesson that I've learned
True love expects nothing in return
Though destiny has pulled us apart
We're bound together in our hearts
Forever, forever
Goodbye baby, goodbye baby
We're like lyrics in a song
We've been right and we've been wrong
But can I close the door on love?
Forever more
Can I close the door?
Just turn my back on love?
Can I walk away from those I'm so proud of?
We're all lyrics in one song
This is where we all belong
Can I close the door on love?
