Christina Perri – A Thousand Years
Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can i love when i’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt, suddenly goes away somehow
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid, i have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything, take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath, every hour has come to this
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid, i have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
And all along i believed, i would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, i have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
One step closer
One step closer
I have died everyday, waiting for you
Darling, don’t be afraid, i have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
And all along i believed, i would find you
Time has brought your heart to me, i have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more
