There's no give and take away
There's no game I need to play
There's not waiting for the spring,
Your love is evergreen
There's no key I need to turn
There's no trick I need to learn
There's no mark I need to meet,
Your love is evergreen
Your love is evergreen
There's no war I have to fight,
There's no need to be polite
There's no way I have to be,
Your love is evergreen
There's no hill I need to climb,
There's no flag I need to fly
There's no song I have to sing,
Your love is evergreen
Your love is evergreen
There's no promise You won't keep
There's no distance You won't reach
There's no season in between,
Your love is evergreen
Cause You don't give and take away
And You don't play the games we play
You're not waiting for the spring,
Your love is evergreen
Your love is evergreen
