[Verse 1] A rose may still be a rose, when called by any other name. But when a lover's soul has changed, their love is not the same. And though their heart may beat, with love that's still as true, It's just isn't quite the same, as when they loved you. [Pre-Chorus] But accept your lover as they are, and accept that they may change. For time itself has no bounds, and souls they have no chains. [Chorus] So if you truely love them Remain steady by their side For time it is a river And together you can dance with the tide (steady by their side) (dance with the tide) [Verse 2] Some days they speak in silence, some days they shine like gold. You learn the shape of changing hands, you learn to let them hold. Not every bloom stays open, not every spring stays new. Still love can leave its footprints in the places it once knew. [Pre-Chorus] But accept your lover as they are, and accept that they may change. For time itself has no bounds, and souls they have no chains. [Chorus] So if you truely love them Remain steady by their side For time it is a river And together you can dance with the tide (steady by their side) (dance with the tide) [Bridge] If the current pulls them farther, don’t turn love into a cage. Let the water do its moving, let the heart grow with the age. What was yours was never broken, what was yours can still remain Even as the river bends on, even through the joy and pain. [Final Chorus] So if you truely love them Remain steady by their side For time it is a river And together you can dance with the tide So if you truely love them Remain steady by their side For time it is a river And together you can dance with the tide (steady by their side) (dance with the tide)
