Heart beats 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

[Chorus:] I have died everyday

waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you For a thousand years

I'll 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

[Chorus:] I have died everyday

waiting for you Darling, don't be afraid

I have loved you For a thousand years


And all along I believed

I would find you Time has brought your

heart to me I have loved you for a

thousand years


One step closer One step closer

[Chorus:]

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you

For a thousand years I'll 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'll love you for a thousand more
