The Glory Of Love
David Foster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
there's so many things I want to say
I will always love you, I will never leave you alone
Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret
it breaks my heart to see you crying
I don't want to lose you
I could never make it alone
I am a man who would fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever, knowing together
that we did it all for the glory of love
You keep me standing tall, you help me through it all
I'm always strong when you're beside me
I have always needed you
I could never make it alone
I am a man who would fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever, knowing together
that we did it all for the glory of love
Just like a knight in shining armor
from a long time ago
Just in time I will save the day
take you to my castle far away
I am a man who would fight for your honor
I'll be the hero you're dreaming of
We'll live forever, knowing together
that we did it all for the glory of love
We'll live forever, knowing together
that we did it all for the glory of love
