A Thousand Years
christina perri feat steve kazee Lyrics

The day we met,
From the moment we first met and locked eyes,

Frozen I held my breath
I was so captivated by you that I couldn't breathe

Right from the start
From the very beginning of our relationship

I knew that I'd found a home for my heart
I realized that you were the person I had been searching for all along

Beats fast
My heart beats rapidly and strongly

Colors and promises
There is so much vibrancy and hope for the future

How to be brave?
I'm unsure how to find the courage I need

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
How can I give you my heart when I'm scared of getting hurt

But watching you stand alone?
However, seeing you standing there so confidently inspires me

All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow
In that moment, all my fears and worries disappear

One step closer
Each moment we spend together brings us closer to complete happiness

I have died everyday waiting for you
The time we've spent apart has been like death to me

Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
My love for you is true and genuine, so don't be scared

For a thousand years
My love has lasted for a very long time

I'll love you for a thousand more
And my love for you will only continue to grow stronger

Time stands still
When I'm with you, everything else fades away

Beauty in all she is
I find your beauty and essence absolutely captivating

I will be brave
I will summon the courage to face anything with you by my side

I will not let anything take away
I will fight against anything that tries to hurt our love

What's standing in front of me
I cherish the love and the future that stands before us

Every breath
With each inhalation and exhalation, my love for you grows

Every hour has come to this
Every moment we've shared has led us to this point of pure love and devotion

And all along I believed I would find you
I always had faith that our paths would cross and we'd be together

Time has brought your heart to me
The passing of time has allowed us to finally discover each other's love

I'll love you for a thousand years
My love is timeless and everlasting

I'll love you for a thousand more
And I'll continue to adore you for all the days of my life
