Love Is Meant To Last Forever
John Norum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are my best friend
And I will try to understand
The moment you need me
I'll be there so just take my hand
'Cause I know that we were meant for each other
Don't give up for me
'Cause I'll make you see
Love is meant to last forever

I never thought you could leave me
And I believed you felt the same
But now that it's over
I realize I'm the one to be blamed
But listen i know that things will get better
So hold on to me
'Cause I'll make you see

Love is meant to last forever

Love is meant to last forever...
Is it too hard to understand
Love is meant to last forever...
Why can't you hold on to love

Love is meant to last forever...





Hold on to love!
