When Love Was All We Had

(album: The Art Of Excellence - 1986)

We started out as children on a carousel
Leaving all those fairy tales we knew so well
We built our world up in the air
Just holding hands, without a care
And everything was possible when love was all we had

Together we would laugh at other people's fears
Together in our plane we'd fly a thousand years
How could we see before we land
Our solid ground had turned to sand
The sad farewell yesterday
When love was all we had

Our magic island every summer
A holiday, just you and me
Now we'll never be together
Beside the sea

Some people say that we must face reality
That we were never happy as we seemed to be
No one was there with us to feel
Could then be false can now be real
It really was worthwhile to live
When love was all we had

Now we'll never be together
Beside the sea

Some people say that we must face reality
That we were never happy as we seemed to be
No one was there with us to feel
Could then be false can now be real
It really was worthwhile to live
When love was all we had

It really was worthwhile to live
When love was all we had
