Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I hold you forever in my arms and not let go
'cause I really wanna be with you
Say it's so till the end of time your love is all I know
'cause I really wanna be with you
When I'm all alone
I surround myself with every thought of you
I love the things you do
Your love gently lays me down
Turns me all around
Makes me love you once again
One kiss, lips upon my face
Nothing could erase
Everything you are
All we have is love we share and that's enough for me
'cause I really wanna be with you
In a thousand years
If I lost your love
I'd cry a thousand tears
I'd cry a thousand tears
Chorus
Just one look in you eyes makes me melt inside
And I know when you're holding me close, it's for real
You're the love that I've wanted to stand the test of time
And I know in my heart, you will always be mine
