Lyrics & Translation

[English]

2 a.m. and the rain is falling

Here we are at the crossroads once again

You're telling me you're so confused

You can't make up your mind

Is this meant to be?

You're asking me

But only love can say

Try again or walk away

But I believe for you and me

The sun will shine one day

So I'll just play my part

Pray you'll have a change of heart

But I can't make you see it through

That's something only love can do

In your arms as the dawn is breaking

Face to face and a thousand miles apart

I've tried my best to make you see

There's hope beyond the pain

If we give enough, if we learn to trust

But only love can say

Try again or walk away

But I believe for you and me

The sun will shine one day

So I'll just play my part

Pray you'll have a change of heart

But I can't make you see it through

That's something only love can do

I know if I could find the words

To touch you deep inside

You'd give our dream just one more chance

Don't let this be our last goodbye

But only love can say

Try again or walk away

But I believe for you and me

The sun will shine one day

So I'll just play my part

And pray you'll have a change of heart

But I can't make you see it through

That's something only love can do

That's something only love can do
