Hoping Love Will Last - Steve Hackett

There are many friends that I once knew

Who felt the same special thing that I share with you

They’ve grown apart in different ways

I wonder if someone hears as I start to say

I’m hoping love will last

Yes I’m hoping love will last

On and on, on and on

Why do I dream love’s labour’s lost

I’m just a face with a name that you soon forgot

But when I’m scared the most, the nightmare ends

Then safe and sound I awake in your arms again —

I’m hoping love will last

Yes I’m hoping love will last

On and on, on and on

How can I go on alone when your love

When your love is all I’ve known

Sometimes we stay many miles away

You know you’re here every minute throughout the day

Within my thoughts

Within my thoughts so take good care

I only wait for the moments we both can share

Hoping love will last

Yes I’m hoping, hoping love will last

On and on, on and on
