I used to be strong, strong as a tree
I stood in the sun and I swayed in the breeze
The pride of the forest
Standing so tall
But then came the lightning out of the blue
She struck at my heart and tore me in two
And I fell to the ground
In the gathering storm
Whether I failed you
Whether I failed myself
You know that I need you
More than anyone else

Now will love me nevermore
Or is there a way to heal the hurting?
If we are still worth fighting for
Tell me now or nevermore

I live in a world where winter holds sway
Your trust in me has withered away
Hoping in vain
For the coming of spring
My heart is hollow
You are a stranger to me
It’s the season of sorrow
And I am a man bereaved

Now will you love me nevermore
Or is there a way to heal the hurting?
If we are still worth fighting for
Tell me now or nevermore

As I watch you turn and go
In the gently falling snow
I will dream for a thousand years
Quietly waiting,
Quietly waiting, waiting, waiting

Now will you love me nevermore
Or is there a way to heal the hurting?
If we are still worth fighting for
Tell me now or nevermore
Tell me now or nevermore
Tell me now or nevermore
