I can't imagine why you say the things you do

Maybe in time I'll understand

What is the reason for the emptiness you feel

When I'm trying everything I can

 

My love is running deeper than the night

Stronger than the north wind blowing

It's a fire burning bright

And it's always been this way

 

Can you hear me?

Am I really coming thru?

Why do your eyes seem to dance away?

I know what's right for you Haven't I always?

I need you more than I can say

 

My love is running deeper than the night

Stronger than the north wind blowing

It's a fire burning bright

And it's always been this way

 

My love is running deeper than the night

Stronger than the north wind blowing

It's a fire burning bright

And it's always been this way

 

And I'll never ever change

In my lifetime, I'll stay the same

Yes I'll never, I'll never change

I'll love you, I'll stay the same

 

My love is running deeper than the night

Stronger than the north wind blowing

Fire burning bright, and it keeps on growing, keeps on growing
