Lyrics
I've been afraid
That I had missed the chance of a lifetime
And by the way
I've tumbled with romance, girl
And I don't cry, but now I
I'm searching every star
(I go on)
Searching near and far
(Every dawn)
'Til I find our one spirit flying high
Flying high
I'll never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
I'll be content in time, I'm gonna be content in time
And so today
I think I'll take the chance of a lifetime
And by the way
I'm falling for romance, girl
And I don't mind,
How much I cry
See I'm reaching for the sun
(Angels sing)
Love has just begun
(Who would think?)
Two could turn to one spirit flying high
Flying high
I'll never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
I'll be content in time
I'll never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
I'll never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
I'll be content,
I'm gonna be content in time
I'll never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
I'll never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
I'll be content in time
I'll never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
Never give it up, never gonna give it up
Even when this life is over
I'll be content, I'm gonna be content
Never gonna give it up, no, no, no, no, not I
Never gonna give it up, no, no, no, no, not I
Never gonna give it up, no, no, no, no, not I
I'll be content in time
Never gonna give it up, no, no, no, no, not I
Never gonna give it up
