               Maureen Therese McGovern(born July 27, 1949) is an American singer and Broadway actress, well known for her renditions of the songs "The Morning After" from the 1972 film The Poseidon Adventure; "We May Never Love Like This Again" from The Towering Inferno in 1974; and her No. 1 Billboard adult contemporary hit "Different Worlds", the theme song from the television series Angie.

We could tumble like a weed in the wind

Or we could scatter like the leaves in a storm

Or we could stand like an oak

And laugh at the joke

That the love we had is gone

 

We could buckle like a bridge made of tin

And we could shatter like a house made of glass

Or we could stand like a rock

And whether the shock

And try to make it last

 

And give each other love ev'ry day

A little goes a long, long way

And we could have it all

And we could have it all again

 

Or we could crumble like a castle of sand

And fade and wither like a rose on a vine

Or we could stay with the dream

 

Though lost it may seem

And try a second time

 

And give each other love ev'ry day

A little goes a long, long way

And we could have it all

And we could have it all again

We could have it all again

 

You stumble and you fall

You're out of your losses

You'll gather your forces

 

And you try again

And give each other love ev'ry day.
