A Thousand Years
Christina Perri; Steve Kazee Lyrics

The day we met
The day we first encountered each other

Frozen I held my breath
I was so taken aback by your presence that I momentarily stopped breathing

Right from the start
From the very beginning of our relationship

I knew that I'd found a home for my heart
I realized that my heart had found a place of comfort and safety with you

Beats fast
My heart beats rapidly

Colors and promises
Our relationship is filled with vibrant emotions and commitments

How to be brave?
I'm uncertain about how to be courageous in this situation

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
I find it challenging to love when I am hesitant to be vulnerable

But watching you stand alone?
But observing you standing strong and independent makes my doubts disappear

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
My doubts seem to vanish without explanation

One step closer
We are moving closer to each other

I have died everyday waiting for you
I have felt incomplete and hopeless every day without you

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
My dear, please do not worry as my love for you is unwavering

For a thousand years
I have loved you for an extended period of time

I'll love you for a thousand more
And I am committed to loving you for an additional thousand years

Time stands still
The passage of time has stopped in this moment

Beauty in all she is
You exude beauty in every aspect of your being

I will be brave
I will summon up my courage

I will not let anything take away
I will not allow anything to hinder

What's standing in front of me
What is presently in front of me

Every breath
With each breath I take

Every hour has come to this
Every moment until now has led to this point

And all along I believed I would find you
All this time, I have had faith that I would come across you

Time has brought your heart to me
Time has allowed us to find each other's hearts

I'll love you for a thousand more
I am committed to loving you for another thousand years
