You cried alone by the window Over the love that you lost You gave it all Never counting the cost Rain like tears beat on your window Melting your heart to the floor No love returned And now you have less than before It's never for nothing When you love with no return It's never for nothing Light your candle in the darkness Cause it's never for nothing Your friends say you're the fool For loving with nothing to gain But they can't see the reward That you'll claim So hold on to the holy promise (that says) No labor of love is in vain Precious tears are changed to jewels In the rain It's never for nothing When you love with no return It's never for nothing Light your candle in the darkness Cause it's never for nothing It's never for nothing When you love with no return It's never for nothing Light your candle in the darkness Cause it's never for nothing It's never for nothing When you love with no return It's never for nothing Light your candle in the darkness Cause it's never for nothing It's never for nothing
