Musiq Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It won't have no effect on this love at all
If in another time I was you and you was I
You know I'd still recognize you all the same
This kinda love don't ever change cause
[Chorus]
I'll be lovin' you till the sun starts shinin' blue
Lovin' you until all of time is standing still
Nothing's ever been as real to me
As this love, this love, this love
Lovin' you until (2073)
We'll still be together in (2084)
In love more than ever in (2093)
This love just won't ever end (2000)
Until (2000) until (2000) until 2000 and forever
Now if dreams could dream just like people do
I believe they'd dream the dream of the love between me and you
And even though we'll fight and may not get along sometimes
It's cool cause I know that if I fight with you and cry with you
I can make it up all night with you so
[Chorus]
If love ever fades away
We'll still find some to make us
Time don't apply to you and I
Cause this love goes as far as eternity
Way beyond infinity
And long after we're dead and gone
We'll still be holdin' on cause
[Chorus]
