In my life I've seen love come and go without a sound
Melancholy music fills the silence all around
Hearts of gold with pretty faces dance before my eyes
But they're dreams, only dreams, only sleepy whispered lies

That's the way love goes
Sweet and thorny as a rose
Where it comes from no one knows
That's the way love goes

Waiting for that missing piece of me to come along
Days are drawn in drudgery; nights are drowned in song
Wondering if I was meant to walk that magic place
Kissed by lips so smiling bright on some angelic face

That's the way love goes
Sweet and thorny as a rose
Where it comes from no one knows
That's the way love goes

In my life I've seen love come and go without a sound
Melancholy music fills the silence all around
Wondering if I was meant to sail that magic sea
Surely Cupid set aside one special girl for me

That's the way love goes
Sweet and thorny as a rose
Where it comes from no one knows
That's the way love goes
