Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I lie awake thinkin' of
the days gone by
Wishing that you're still
here with me, baby
I was wrong
and now you're gone
Please hear this heart of mine
Whenever you're around me
I feel different in your arms
With the way you touch me
I feel the love that lasts a lifetime
Your love's so true
and I never knew
That it's you I need
All this Time
...
See this tears
that keep falling from my eyes
Wishing that I never
let you go, my baby
Take this heart
fill me with your love
Please hear this words of mine
Hear me callin'
Whenever you're around me
I feel different in your arms
With the way you touch me
I feel the love that lasts a lifetime
Your love's so true
and I never knew
That it's you I need
All this Time
yeah yeah yeah
...
Your love's so true
and I never knew
That it's you I need
All this time
All this time
All this time
