Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The autumn leaves were fallin'
On these old cathedral walls
There were candles in the darkness
Singing in the choir
And readin' out the names
Of all the ones who've gone before
Well, I could tell that you were thinking
'Bout the meaning of it all
[Verse 2]
When you said to me
"Who will open up my eyes
To the wonder and the glory
And the stars in the sky?"
And you said to me
"For this road I'm travelin' on
I need someone beside me forever
Who? Who?"
[Verse 3]
And I said
It's me, and I'm ready to go
Ready to show
That I'll never let you down
And I want you to know
That this power will grow
Every day, every beat of my heart
Forever, forever
[Verse 4]
We went down to the river
And we found a small cafe
They say that over in the corner
Sat the writer Ernest Hemingway
And here he made his story of the lovers in the war
And through it all they stayed together
Till the rain had to fall
[Verse 5]
You said to me
"Who will be the one apart
Who will teach me
With conviction, all the ways of the heart?"
You said to me
"On this journey of my life
I need someone to love me forever, who?"
[Verse 6]
And I said, "Listen"
It's me, and I'm ready to go
Ready to show
That I'll never let you down
And I want you to know
That this power will grow
Every day, every beat of my heart
I love you, I love you
[Verse 7]
It's me
And I'll never let you down
And I want you to know
That this power will grow
Every day, every beat of my heart
Forever, I love you, forever
