She looked out her cold window at the sunrise,
Having traveled that dark night without sleep;
She tried to count each train track for a while,
But without him every count was incomplete –
She never ventured this far in her daydreams,
So her heart beat faster with each passing mile;
She etched his face from memory on her window,
Now her journey wouldn’t be without his smile.

CHORUS 
There’s one love that eclipses every other,
Every love you tried but love just wasn’t there –
When it finds you it will never let you go…
Just wait for a while and you will know…
When that train moves – it’s time to go.

All their memories together kept returning,
Every night they spent upon those shallow sands;
There the moonlight’s blanket erased summer's questions,
And they simply melted in each other’s hands;
Now she gave up everything to join him back East,
From her home their love was just too far away;
In the distance she could feel her new tomorrow,
As she rode those rusty train tracks one more day.

CHORUS 
There’s one love that eclipses every other,
Every love you tried but love just wasn’t there –
When it finds you it will never let you go…
Just wait for a while – and you will know…
When that train moves – it’s time to go.

BRIDGE
As the train slowly crawled toward new horizons,
And the sun peeked over Smokey Mountain sides;
His smile started falling from her warming window,
But by now it was clearly deep inside;
Soon the whistle blew announcing the arrival,
Of this old train that had brought her all this way;
As she stepped into forever he was waiting,
Then he ran to her and took her heart away.

CHORUS 
There’s one love that eclipses every other,
Every love you tried but love just wasn’t there –
When it finds you it will never let you go…
Just wait for a while – and you will know…
When that train stops – it’s time to go…
It’s time to go…
It’s time to go…
