Was livin' in a lonely world
A shadow in the night when baby
There you were and you saved me with a smile
You really took my breath away
You caught me by surprise cause darlin'
I wasn't lookin' to meet somebody
But I got lost in your eyes
And here we are so in love
It was all in the stars
I'll love you till the end of time
I'll give my heart I give my life
You know that I would do
Anything for you I feel alive
I promise till the end of days
I'll prove in a thousand ways
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Till the end of time
You're everything I'll ever need
I know you'll understand, oh baby
Since I met you I been more of a woman
And I'm a better man
And you will never be lost and alone anymore
I'll love you till the end of time
I'll give my heart I give my life
You know that I would do
Anything for you I feel alive
I promise till the end of days
I'll prove in a thousand ways
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
Till the end of time
We're ridin' on a passion of love
We're flyin' in the heavens above
And nothin' gonna bring us down
I love you till the end of time
I give my heart I give my life
I'll be by your side
Day and night
I'll love you till the end of time
I'll give my heart I give my life
You know that I would do
Anything for you I feel alive
I promise till the end of days
I'll prove in a thousand ways
I'll be yours and you'll be mine
I'll love you till the end of time.
