It can burn you, it can bruise you
It can bring you to your knees
Sometimes it's so illusive, barely out of reach
And it may slip right through your fingers
If it's handled carelessly
So much of it depends on starting out as friends
Cause love can last, when it's a slow burning fire
Not a flame that consumes everything in its path
It can scatter like ashes, it can shatter like gla**
But when there's trust then love can last
I have chased like a rainbow, I've embraced it much too fast
I've shivered in its shadow, and worn it like a bench
But I never felt the courage to give it all I have
Until you came to me, now finally I believe
That love can last, when it's a slow burning fire
Not a flame that consumes everything in its path
It can scatter like ashes, it can shatter like gla**
But when there's trust then love can last
Anytime I'm holding you
I realize we are living proof
That love can last, when it's a slow burning fire
Not a flame that consumes everything in its path
It can scatter like ashes, it can shatter like gla**
But when there's trust then love can last
I know with us love can last
Woo-hoo-ooh, oh
