| (Bob McDill) | |
| Who can tell just how it starts | |
| Angry words and broken hearts | |
| Till silently we sit apart | |
| You and I | |
| But in awhile the anger's gone | |
| And we forget who's right or wrong | |
| Then one of us will end it all | |
| With just a smile. | |
| We believe in happy endings | |
| Never breaking | |
| Only bending | |
| Taking time enough for mending | |
| The hurt inside. | |
| We believe in new beginnings | |
| Giving in | |
| And forgiving | |
| We believe happy endings | |
| You and I. | |
| Just a word is all it takes | |
| And so it pass | |
| The silence breaks | |
| And looking back it makes us ache | |
| For what we've done. | |
| And so we cling together now | |
| And wonder why we're oh so proud | |
| When all that matters anyhow | |
| Is our love. | |
| We believe in happy endings | |
| Never breaking | |
| Only bending | |
| Taking time enough for mending | |
| The hurt inside. | |
| We believe in new beginnings | |
| Giving in | |
| And forgiving | |
| We believe in happy endings | |
| You and I... |
