We Can Never Know

We can never know
How love takes over every heart
He weaves a tapestry of dreams
We don't see him play his part
But all at once we're born again
And there's no time to wonder why
When every moment we're so torn with feeling
We just laugh or cry

We can never know
When love will wave his magic strings
And only fools sit back and analyse
The miracle it brings
We just give in to every pang
Of sweet desire
As it grows and say, "Well,
Who cares if no one ever knows"

We can never know
If love will fade or stay as strong
What can we do but trust the future
Even though we may be wrong
We'll have a memory to warm us
And share a secret sense of pride
Just knowing love came in to touch us
And we didn't try to hide

We can never know
What love will do from day to day
Sometimes he'll offer hope with one hand
While the other pulls away
But when there's nothing left at all
Another love will come to us
And lead us to a new beginning
We'll have a chance of winning
Maybe, but no one ever knows
