She would never let herself forget
And………………………………….
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist


But darling,
You are the only exception (4x)


Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face
And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness
………………………………………..
You are the only exception (4x)
I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it`s not a dream
Ohh You are the only exception (8x)


And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing
