Lyrics
Our Love Was Meant To Be
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sure as the river must flow to the sea,
No matter how far it rise aimlessly,
Fate has decided you come to me,
Our love was meant to be.
Sure as the big mighty oak has to grow,
Though it was started so long ago,
Nature has whispered, we can't help but know,
Our love was meant to be.
Although you may never
Notice my love for you,
I'll go on for ever
Thinking the way I do.
Sure as the sun must shine every day,
Lighting a world, driving darkness away,
I can't conceal what my heart has to say,
Our love was meant to be.
