We've all been hurt by love

It's out of our hands

But for all it's worth

I'm drawing a line in the sand



Another morning just won't do

I need your love to shine on through

Or it won't be new



Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it

Whatever it takes my love

To put the lonely days behind us

I'm laying it down

Whatever it takes my love



If there's a chance

For two hearts to celebrate

To blow out some candles

And tempt the hands of fate



You make a wish, I'll make one too

But close your eyes love when you do

Or it won't be true



Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it

Whatever it takes my love

To put the lonely days behind us

I'm laying it down

Whatever it takes, my love



'Cos I've been wandering 'round

With the same old blues

That have been dragging me down

If you feel the same way too

Maybe it takes two



And if we give thanks

For our love at each new dawn

We'll find the strength

And the will to carry on



The sun alone will never do

Without your love to shine on through

It just won't be new



Whatever it takes, my love, I'll find it

Whatever it takes, my love

To put the lonely days behind us

I'm laying it down

Whatever it takes, my love
