Mystery of Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Seasons are changing
Children of love are alive
People reach out to survive together
Love is the message
We carry across the sky
Down through the passage of time forever

[Pre-Chorus]
History unfolds
As this story's told

[Chorus]
And it's the mystery of love
How we go on and on forever
And it's the mystery of love
Coming to rescue, rescue me

[Verse 2]
A man and a woman
Lost in each other's embrace
Star-crossed in time in a place far away
Innocent dreamers
Turning the wheels of chance
Searching to find romance forever
[Pre-Chorus]
We will surely find
Love is for all time

[Chorus]
And it's the mystery of love
How we go on and on forever
And it's the mystery of love
Only one heart can turn the key
Down through the history of love
Time is the one that holds the answer
And it's the mystery of love
Oh, will it set me free?

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
For all time, whoa

[Chorus]
And it's the mystery of love
How we go on and on forever
And it's the mystery of love
Only one heart can turn the key
Down through the history of love
Time is the one that holds the answer
And it's the mystery of love
Coming to rescue, rescue me
[Outro]
And it's the mystery of love
How we go on and on forever
And it's the mystery of love
Only one heart can turn the key
Down through the history of love
Time is the one that holds the answer
And it's the mystery of love
Oh, will it set me, set me free?
And it's the mystery of love
How we go on and on forever
