[Part 1]

[Verse 1: Terry Kath]
Wish I knew what was going wrong
Seems so very long since we laughed together
It's no good to be all alone
When you hurt a friend
And you both feel empty

[Chorus: Terry Kath]
What I'd give to erase the pain
Will we ever make friends?
Is it over or shall we try again?
For a brand new love affair

[Verse 2: Terry Kath]
Seems to me
We are both afraid
That our love may fade and we just won't make it
Maybe soon, we'll be friends again
Find ourselves and then
Really make it happen

[Chorus: Terry Kath]
What I'd give to erase the pain
Will we ever make friends? Ooh
Is it over or shall we try again?
For a brand new love affair
[Part II]

[Verse 3: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
Start all over again
And do it up the right way
Come together, my friend
And celebrate the new day

[Instrumental]

[Outro: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
I can hardly believe
How much I really love you baby
All our tomorrows will be
A love affair with you, my lady
