Don't waste another minute on your cryin'.
We're nowhere near the end (nowhere near)
The best is ready to begin.
Ooh.
As long as we got each other
We got the world spinnin' right in our hands.
The luckiest dreamers who never quit dreamin'.
As long as we keep on givin'
We can take anything that comes our way
Baby, rain or shine, all the time
We got each other Sharin' the laughter and love.
