Lyric
The nights were dark and long, I spent a million all aloneBut I never once stopped loving youMy world was cold and still my dreams lay unfulfilledBut I never once stopped loving youI never once stopped believingWe’d love again the way we used to doAnd today when you came back, my patience was rewardedFor I never once stopped loving youI could have loved another but I chose to wait and sufferFor I never once stopped loving youAnd I prayed to God to guide you ’till I could be beside youAnd I never once stopped loving youI never once stopped believingWe’d love again the way we used to doAnd today when you came back, my patience was rewardedFor I never once stopped loving you
