Elusive happiness
  Can be like promises
  That rest so gently on our pillow
  We stood out on the ledge
  And leaned over the edge
  And nearly fell right through that window
  
  There were those who had us done by now
  Baby, we've only just begun
  
  [Chorus:]
  The world may crash and burn
  Or suddenly just cease to turn
  But love goes on
  It may look out of reach
  And time may rob us like a thief
  But love goes on
  Our love goes on
  
  No one may recognize
  What lives behind our eyes
  Sometimes the good times are the hardest
  And when my strength is gone
  It's you that I lean on
  A light at the end of all my darkness
  
  And in the end if I know nothing else
  The answer is only in your arms
  
  [Chorus:]
  The world may crash and burn
  Or suddenly just cease to turn
  But love goes on
  It may look out of reach
  And time may rob us like a thief
  But love goes on
  
  And in the end if I know nothing else
  The answer is right here in your arms
  It's always in your arms
  
  [Chorus:]
  The world may crash and burn
  Or suddenly just cease to turn
  But love goes on
  It may look out of reach
  And time may rob us like a thief
  But love goes on
  
  Oh love goes on
  
  It may look out of reach
  And time may rob us like a thief
  But love goes on
