"Pama Outernational comes across like a house party deejayed by somebody with a very deft touch and an altogether adventurous selection policy – after a couple of tunes you’re not at all sure what you’re going to hear next, but you know enough to trust it implicitly." BBC.CO.UK

Truly Madly Deeply
Pama International Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ill be your wish ill be your fantasy
Ill be your hope ill be your love
Be everything that you need
Ill love you more with every breath
Truly, madly, deeply do
I will be strong i will be faithful
Cause im counting on
A reason for living
A deeper meaning
I want to stand with you on
a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
And when the stars are shining
Brightly in the velvet sky,
Ill make a wish to send to heaven
Them make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the
Pleasure and the certainty
That were surrounded by the
Comfort and protection of
The highest powers
In lonely hours
The tears devour you
I want to stand with you on
a mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me
Oh can you see it baby?
You dont have to close your eyes
Cause its standing right here
Before you
All that you need will surely come
Ill be your dream ill be your wish
Ill be your fantasy
Ill be your hope ill be your love

I want to lay like this forever
Until the sky falls down on me

A mountain
I want to bathe with you in the sea
