Lyrics
IF YOU BELIEVE
1 - You and I were all that love could be
But then you turned away from me
You headed for the world
Because you thought that was grand
Time has come for you to stop and see
Just what your life is meant to be
I've waited patiently
I knew you'd come back to me
Chorus - If you believe in love you can be sure
That there will be a time when you'll have so much more
I only want to be the means where you fulfill your dreams
If you believe, your life will turn around
2 - Take me in your arms forever more
And we'll discover so much more
When we're together
We will be closer than close
I have had my share of troubles too
I've done the things that lovers do
There'll be no turning back
For me and you
Chorus
Bridge: We have a chance to show what we're made of
We have what it takes to share a life of love
Down we'll be together and up as well
We're two of a kind who'd have so much to tell
