I look into your eyes, I see the dream that I've been searching for

I'll search no more

The age of innocence is never truly spent when there is love

Still there to touch

 

[Chorus:]

So don't slow down, the wheels are turning, the fire's burning in us now

Don't slow down, don't lose the magic, we've come too far to turn back now

 

I ask to share your dreams, recalling empty scenes, you hesitate

It's not too late

I wish into your eyes, the truth of what I am behind the mask

Beyond the past

 

[Chorus]

 

Don't slow down!

 

[Chorus] - don't slow down

 

Don't slow down, yeah.
