I've wondered all my life How I could ever let you go There's not a lot of change in my life But one thing that I know If ever I see you again Maybe this time it well work out alright Maybe this we won't say goodbye but only goodnight With a love that won't end If ever I see you again Warm sleepy morning working up next to you Feeling you close by side Nothing on earth has ever felt better Then the feelings I've felt deep inside Sometimes it seems that I never lost you And that your not really gone Cause I had this dream This wonderful dream It just goes on and on And If ever I see you again Maybe this time it well work out alright Maybe this we won't say goodbye but only goodnight With a love that won't end If ever I see you again...
