It's lonely at the top and it's lonely at the bottom.
'Cause everone has their ups and downs.
Life isn't easy we all know that, but someone up above is looking 'round.
You gotta keep your chin up, you gotta keep a smile.
Everbody's got to have someone to love and laugh awhile.
Looking from a distance you never see alot.
You dont know what is there until it's not.
This is true my friend you really wouldn't know,
until you feel your heart break, then you feel it grow.
Treat your loved one with tenderness
and tell her that you care.
'Cause you wont know what you had, until she's not there.
There comes a time for all of us, our feelings turn apart.
We think that it's the end of love, but it's really just begun.
It makes our hearts grow stronger, and we must carry on.
We will live and love and laugh again,
because it's written in this song.
As time goes by it mends our hearts,
that's what we like to say.
But really deep inside of us it never goes away.
So I think of all the good times the two of us have spent,
and that alone will mend my heart,
'cause it's surely heaven sent.
