i can hear your voice inside me
whispering into my heart
sometimes i think you're still beside me
when i wake up in the dark
time can be the great deceiver
turn around and life has gone
you've got to be a strong believer
to keep a love a live this long
and even though the years slipped by me
i knew that fate would not deny me
i've gotta give love my best shot
i've gotta give all that i've got
i've gotta be honest and truthful
you've gotta trust me all the way
you've gotta believe when i say
you are so perfect and beautiful
i can sense you all around me
in everything i say and do
and even when i'm sleeping soundly
my dreams are filled with you
and despite enormous distance
i know there can be no resistance
i've gotta give love my best shot
i've gotta give all that i've got
i've gotta be honest and truthful
you've gotta trust me all the way
you've gotta believe when i say
you are so perfect and beautiful
i may not have a fortune
but i'd give it all to you
time can be the great deceiver
turn around and life has gone
i've gotta give love my best shot
i've gotta give all that i've got
i've gotta be honest and truthful
you've gotta trust me all the way
you've gotta believe when i say
you are so perfect and beautiful
