Everlasting Love

I had a welcome mat
But you never came around
I left my light on
But you were nowhere to be found
I thought an afterthought
That maybe I was forgotten
You never asked me for my name
But I wasn't even in the book
Seems like a love that tried
Somehow was on our side
We fell in love so deeply
An everlasting kind of love
And love was on our side
There was no place to hide
It seemed to mean so much
An everlasting kind of love
Years ago I was at your door
Asking you for directions
You said you loved another
And I wasn't even mentioned
As I played piano
I'd get this eerie feeling
You were never really there
I guess I must be dreaming
Seems how I really tried
But our love was denied
Somehow it was a lie
An everlasting kind of love
Then you took me for a ride
I was so hurt inside
You smiled and then you cried
An everlasting kind of love
Mom and Dad said I sure was lost
Since all the time make-believin'
Just what is the difference -
In my heart I'm always there
Huggin' you in the art room
You said you had to go
I took it out on a shopping cart
Screamin' in my mind it isn't so
Guess that's the way it goes
You seemed to love I suppose
But I was at the end of my rope
An everlasting kind of love
I can't tell you how I loved
The shining stars above
With no ill thoughts about ya
An everlasting kind of love
I took a walk
I was so in love
But I had nowhere to go
Everywhere I looked - I swear - I saw you in every window
Til I died inside from being all alone
Your love carried me on
I just kept on dreaming of your love
Seems like a love that tried
Somehow was on our side
What could we have done to save
An everlasting kind of love
And love was on our side
It seemed to mean so much
Couldn't - couldn't - Lost touch
An everlasting kind of love
Seems like a love that tried
Somehow was on our side
We fell in love so deeply
An everlasting kind of love
Seems like a love that tried
Somehow was on our side
What could we have done to save
An everlasting kind of love
Oh yeah
Oh no
Oh no
No, no, no
