Whenever I’m with you,
The more I can give you,
The love that’s inside my heart.
No, it’s not easy,
But baby believe me,
It hurts me when we’re apart.

But the road won’t go on forever.
You can dry your tears away.

Whenever you’re near me,
I know you can hear
The love beating in my heart.
I know it ain’t easy,
But baby believe me,
It hurts me when we’re apart.

But the road won’t go on forever.
You can dry your tears away.
No, the road won’t go on forever.
I’ll be by your side someday.

But the road won’t go on forever.
You can dry your tears away.
No, the road won’t go on forever.
I’ll be by your side someday.

Won’t go on forever,
Won’t go on forever,

Won’t go on forever,
Won’t go on forever…
