Lyrics:

[KATHERINE] Till the moment I found you I thought I knew what love was

Now I'm learning what is true

That love will do what it does

The world finds ways to sting you

And then one day decides to bring you

Something to believe in

For even a night One night may be forever

But that's all righ

t That's all righ

t And if you're gone tomorrow What was ours still will be I have something to believe in Now that I know you believed in me

[JACK] We was never meant to meet And then we meet Who knows why

One more stranger on the street Just someone sweet passing by

An angel come to save me

Who didn't even know she gave me

Something to believe in

For even a day

One day may be forever

r But that's okay That's oka

y And if I'm gone tomorrow

What was ours still will be

I have something to believe in

Now that I know you believed in me

[BOTH] Do you know what I believe in Look into my eyes and see

[JACK, spoken] If things were different

[KATHERINE, spoken] If you weren't going to Santa Fe

[JACK, spoken] And if you weren't an heiress

And if your father wasn't after my head

[KATHERINE, spoken] You're not really scared of my father

[JACK, spoken] No, but I'm pretty scared of you

[KATHERINE, spoken] Don't be

[JACK, sung] And if I'm gone tomorrow

[KATHERINE, sung] What was ours still will be

[BOTH] I have something to believe in Now that I know you believed in me

[JACK] I have something to believe in

[BOTH] Now that I know you believed in me
