[Verse 1: Vanessa Williams]
They say it's a river, that circles the Earth
A beam of light shinin' to the edge of the universe
It conquers all
It changes everything

[Verse 2: Vanessa Williams]
They say it's a blessing
They say it's a gift
They say it's a miracle and I believe that it is
It conquers all
But it's a mystery

[Chorus 1: Vanessa Williams]
Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And it fades away
So easily

[Verse 3: Brian McKnight]
In this world we've created
In this place that we live
In a blink of an eye babe, the darkness slips in
Love lights the world
Unites the lovers for eternity
[Chorus 2: Brian McKnight]
Love breaks the chain
Love aches for every one of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And turns it into the beauty that remains

[Bridge: Vanessa Williams and Brian McKnight]
Look at this place
It was paradise
But now it's dying
I'll pray for love
I'll take, my chances that it's not too late

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 1: Vanessa Williams and Brian McKnight]
Love breaks your heart
Love takes no less than everything
Love makes it hard
And it fades away
So easily

[Chorus 2: Vanessa Williams and Brian McKnight]
Oh, oh, oh
Love breaks the chain
Love aches for every one of us
Love takes the tears and the pain
And turns it into the beauty that remains
