Time has been a good friend
Never let me down
Always give me hope
When hope was nowhere to be found
And you have given me the greatest gift of all
A gift that's full of life

It was the end of you and me
But the beginning of us
All we have now are memories
Of the freedom we've lost
It was the end of you and me
But the beginning of us
Now the child looking up at me
Is asking only for love

And now we live forever
In every breath they take
Forgetting our regrets
Forgiving our mistakes
And tears have turned to laughter
That echoes through these halls
Our happy ever after

It was the end of you and me
But the beginning of us
All we have now are memories
Of the freedom we've lost
It was the end of you and me
But the beginning of us
Now the child looking up at me
Is asking only for love

So sing with me this lullaby
Now that we've learned to live, we don't want to die
Just sing with me this lullaby
Now that we've learned to live, we don't want to die

It was the end of you and me
But the beginning of us
All we have now are memories
Of the freedom we've lost
It was the end of you and me
But the beginning of us
Now the child looking up at me
Is asking only for love

The beginning of us
The beginning of us
The beginning of us
The beginning of us
The beginning of us
