This Time

I've known that before it's come and it's gone
 For all that it's been, it's never been very long
 What always seems to come is goodbye
 But I believe in this love, it's not like before
 My journey is done, I've come to the end of the road
 'Cause without you there's just nowhere to go
 And this time love won't walk out on me again
 This time I know I can win, sure as the stars in the sky
 You and I
 With each gentle kiss, I'll show you I missed
 The warmth of your touch and now it's plain to see
 I need the love you're giving to me
 I won't measure the love I feel inside
 For one thing I've learned, it may only last for a while
 Or maybe for the rest of our lives
 And this time love won't walk out on me again
 This time I know I can win, sure as the stars in the sky
 And this time I really believe that I found
 Love at its best and so now
 Love is forever this time
 Now that you're ready, I'll never again be alone
 And this time love won't walk out on me again
 This time I know I can win
 Sure as the stars in the sky
 And this time I really believe in God above
 Love at its best and so now don't ever leave me behind
 No, not this time, no, not this time
 No, not this time, no, not this time
