The Difference Between Us
Embracing Our Differences in Love's Harmony
Lyrics
If you really love me
If you truly love me
Don't try and change me
Do not attempt to change who I am
When you look in the mirror
When you see yourself in the mirror
It's not me you see
You don't see me reflected
I don't want what's yours as mine
I do not desire what belongs to you as mine
No, I'll never cross that line
I will not cross certain boundaries
I want you just the way you are
I love you just the way you are
'Cause you're everything I'm not
Because you possess qualities I lack
And that's all I've ever wanted
Accepting you as you are is all I've ever desired
If we ever come close
If we come close in our relationship
If we ever discover
If we learn and understand
How to hold on and keep
How to maintain and preserve
Our faith in each other
Our trust and confidence in each other
The difference between us
The differences between us
I tell you my love is everlasting
I assert that my love is enduring
You promise to give your best every morning
You commit to giving your best every morning
No, we don't have to compromise
We do not need to make concessions
Or try to live each other's lives
Or attempt to live each other's lives
We can be ourselves tonight
We can be our authentic selves tonight
If we ever come close
If we come close in our relationship
If we ever discover
If we learn and understand
How to hold on and keep
How to maintain and preserve
Our faith in each other
Our trust and confidence in each other
The difference between us
The differences between us
Will keep us together
Will keep us united
