My Hero
Robert Shaw Chorale and Orchestra Lyrics

Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
If I asked you to dance, would you be willing to do so?

Or would you run and never look back?
Would you choose to run away and never come back if I asked you to dance?

Would you cry if you saw me crying?
If you saw me crying, would you also shed tears with me?

And would you save my soul tonight?
Do you have the power to help me and keep my soul secure for tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
If I touched your lips, would you shiver or be scared?

Or would you laugh? Oh, please tell me this.
Instead of shaking or feeling scared, would you laugh?

Now would you die for the one you love?
Are you willing to die for someone you love?

Oh hold me in your arms tonight.
Please embrace me tightly tonight.

I can be your hero baby
I can be the one that saves and protects you, my dear.

I can kiss away the pain
I can make all the hurt go away just by kissing you.

I will stand by you forever
I will always be there for you, for forever.

You can take my breath away
You can leave me breathless and make me lose control.

Would you swear that you'll always be mine
Can you promise me that you'll always be mine?

Or would you lie? Would you run and hide?
Would you rather lie to me or run and hide from me?

Am I in too deep? Have I lost my mind?
Have I gotten too involved and lost my rational thinking?

I don't care. You're here tonight
Despite everything else, I don't care because you're here with me tonight.
