| Lyrics for Song: We Believe In Happy Endings |
| Artist/Band: Emmylou Harris & Earl Thomas Conley |
| Lyrics for Album: Duets |
| Who can tell just how it starts |
| Angry words and broken hearts |
| Till silently we sit apart |
| You and I |
| But in awhile the anger's gone |
| And we forget who's right or wrong |
| Then one of us will end it all |
| With just a smile |
| We believe in happy endings |
| Never breaking |
| Only bending |
| Taking time enough for mending |
| The hurt inside |
| We believe in new beginnings |
| Giving in |
| And forgiving |
| We believe happy endings |
| You and I |
| Solo |
| Just a word is all it takes |
| And so it pass |
| The silence breaks |
| And looking back it makes us ache |
| For what we've done |
| And so we cling together now |
| And wonder why we're oh so proud |
| When all that matters anyhow |
| Is our love |
| We believe in happy endings |
| Never breaking |
| Only bending |
| Taking time enough for mending |
| The hurt inside |
| We believe in new beginnings |
| Giving in |
| And forgiving |
| We believe in happy endings |
| You and I |
