No smiles, not a single word at the breakfast table Though I would have liked to begin So much that I want to say, but I feel unable You leave and you slam the door Like you've done many times before And I cry and I feel so helpless One man, one woman Two friends and two true lovers Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times One man, one woman One life to live together One chance to take that never comes back again You and me 'till the end Outside I can see the sun trough the open window Inside everything feel so cold What's wrong, what is happening, where did all our love go Sometimes when I just can't cope I cling to a desperate hope And I cry and I feel like dying One man, one woman Two friends and two true lovers Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times One man, one woman One life to live together One chance to take that never comes back again You and me 'till the end Daydreams of a better life, but I have to wake up The sound of a key in the door You smile and I realize that we need a shake up Our love is a precious thing Worth the pain and the suffering And it's never too late for changin' One man, one woman Two friends and two true lovers Somehow we'll help each other through the hard times One man, one woman One life to live together One chance to take that never comes back again You and me 'till the end You and me till' the end
