Heartbeats fast Colors and promises How to be brave How can I love when I'm afraid to fall But watching you stand alone All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I love you for a thousand more
Time stands still Beauty in all she is I will be brave I will not let anything take away What's standing in front of me Every breath Every hour has come to this One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I love you for a thousand more
One step closer One step closer
I have died every day waiting for you Darling don't be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I love you for a thousand more
And all along I believed I would find you Time has brought your heart to me I have loved you for a thousand years I love you for a thousand more
