Into The Night
Tifa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She′s just sixteen years old
Leave her alone, they say,
Separated by fools
Who don't know what love is yet
But I want you to know

If I could fly
I′d pick you up
I'd take you into the night
And show you a love
Like you've never seen - ever seen
It′s like having a dream
Where nobody has a heart
It′s like having it all
And watching it fall apart
And I would wait till the end
Of time for you
And do it again, it's true
I can′t measure my love




There's nothing to compare it to
But I want you to know...
