Cinta itu pernah ada dan bertahta
Bahkan jiwa ini adalah separuh jiwamu
Kau orang yang pernah
Membuatku merasa berarti
Dan temani bergolaknya hidupku

Dan kuakui hatiku masih untukmu
Walau kadang tak selalu sempurna

Namun tak seorangpun sanggup menggantikan
Pahit dan manis cerita kita

Aku masih ingin bersamamu
Kan tetap memanggilmu sayang
Sampai selamanya mengukir namamu
Masih ingin
Tuk tersenyum memeluk dan rasakan kebahagiaan itu
Tak berujung dan tak pernah berakhir

Dan kuakui hatiku masih untukmu
Walau kadang tak selalu sempurna
Namun tak seorangpun sanggup menggantikan
Pahit dan manis cerita kita

Aku masih ingin bersamamu
Kan tetap memanggilmu sayang
Sampai selamanya mengukir namamu
Masih ingin
Tuk tersenyum memeluk dan rasakan kebahagiaan itu
Tak berujung dan tak pernah berakhir

Aku masih ingin bersamamu
Kan tetap memanggilmu sayang
Sampai selamanya mengukir namamu
Masih ingin

Tersenyum memeluk dan rasakan kebahagiaan itu
Tak berujung dan tak pernah berakhir
