Your hand was shakin', my heart was breakin'
On that lonely night we said goodbye
I knew it was over, but as you touched my shoulder
And I saw that teardrop fall from your eye

Love has no right
To let us fall then break our hearts
Love has no right
To push us together then pull us apart
Love has no right

I sleep without you but I dream about you
And nothin' could ever take that from me
And though I can't touch you I'll always love you
Now and forever I'll still believe

That love has no right
To let us fall then break our hearts
Love has no right
To push us together then pull us apart
Love has no right

Love has no right
Love has no right
Love has no right
