Looking in your eyes I see a paradise

This world that I've found

Is too good to be true

Standing here beside you

Want so much to give you

This love in my heart that I'm feeling for you

Let 'em say we're crazy, I don't care about that

Put your hand in my hand baby

Don't ever look back

Let the world around us just fall apart

Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

Chorus:

And we can build this dream together

Standing strong forever

Nothing's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers

We'll still have each other

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us now

I'm so glad I found you

I'm not gonna lose you

Whatever it takes I will stay here with you

Take it to the good times

See it through the bad times

Whatever it takes is what I'm gonna do

Let 'em say we're crazy, what do they know

Put your arms around me baby

Don't ever let go

Let the world around us just fall apart

Baby we can make it if we're heart to heart

And we can build this dream together

And if this world runs out of lovers

We'll still have each other

Nothing's gonna stop us, nothing's gonna stop us

Ooh, all that I need is you

All that I ever need

And all that I want to do

Is hold you forever, ever and ever, hey

(Guitar solo)

And we can build this dream together

Standing strong forever

Nothing's gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers

We'll still have each other

Nothing's gonna stop us

Nothing's gonna stop us, whoa

Nothing's gonna stop us now, oh no

Hey baby, I know, hey baby, nothing's gonna stop us

Hey baby, woo, nothing, hey baby

Nothing's gonna stop us now yeah
