He said "I love you, and I always will"
She caught her breathe, her heart stood still
They'll always be together,at least until
The world turns
She went to college, he stayed home
Talked every night on the telephone
But, love can't live on words alone
When the world turns

The world we're livin' in keeps on spinning and
Slippin' through the hands of time
We're only here a while so enjoy the ride
And laugh and love and learn
That the world turns
Yeah, the world turns

The both went heir separate ways
He seldom thought about the good ol' days
Til he saw her picture on the wedding page
Man, the world turns

The world we're livin' in keeps on spinning and
Slippin' through the hands of time
We're only here a while so enjoy the ride
And laugh and love and learn
That the world turns
Yeah, the world turns

Ten years later on a southbound train
Her familiar voice calls out his name
Call it fate, chance or destiny but just the same
The world turns

The world we're livin' in keeps on spinning and
Slippin' through the hands of time
We're only here a while so enjoy the ride
And laugh and love and learn
That the world turns
Yeah, the world turns

And laugh and love and learn
And laugh and love and learn
That the world turns
Yeah, the world turns,
Yeah, the world turns
He said, "I love you and I always will"
