Not long ago, she gave him her hand and her heart
He gave her his words and the stars
Young and in love
Oh, it's more than enough just to be together
Not thinking about
How they would get to forever
Time marches on
Earning degrees and promotions
Fumbling for diapers and lotion
Young and aspiring
Now having more than 3 kids, two cars
One mortgage
Not thinking about
All the love they have forfeit
'Cos he's married to his work
And she's married to a children
He's talking in a meeting
While she's talking to a friend
Oh, she's running to the church
And he's running late again
In the name of all that's good and right
They're passing like ships in the night
Oh, where is the love
And the tender devotion?
They're only going through the motion
Oh, a flame never fanned
Oh, a fire not kindled will flicker and die
They're winning their battles
But losing the love of their lives
'Cos he's married to his work
And she's married to a children
He's talking in a meeting
While she's talking to a friend
Oh, she's running to the church
And he's running late again
In the name of all that's good and right
They're passing like ships in the night
Will they find their way back to the shore?
Strangers forever or strangers no more
No more
But she's running to the church
And he's running late again
In the name of all that's good and right
They're passing like ships in the night
I don't wanna be another ship . . .
(He's married to his work)
. . . in the night
(She's married to a children)
(She's running to the church and. . .)
(He's running late again)
(He's married to his work)
(She's married to a children)
(She's running to the church and. . .)
(He's running late again)
(He's married to his work)
(She's married to a children)
(She's running to the church. . .)
