No Other Love
Whitecross Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I must have been crazy, I must have been blind
To just keep walking in the darkness
But you've been patient all of this time
Well now I'm making you a promise

I'll be with you the rest of my life

No other love can make me feel the way you do

No other love can keep the stars shining
I'll never walk away, I'm on my knees this day
I'm gonna love you like no other love

You opened your heart up, you opened my eyes
You never quit you never gave in
I was too selfish to realize
It was my life that you were saving

I wanna thank you for the rest of my days

No other love can make me feel the way you do
No other love can keep the stars shining
I'll never walk away, I'm on my knees this day
I'm gonna love you like no other love

I give everything to you
No, it'll never be enough

Oh, you set my soul on fire
Like no other love
