Lyrics
Now
Now when it rains I don't feel cold
Now that I have your hand to hold
The winds might blow through me but I don't care
There's no harm in thunder if you are there
And now
Now when we touch my feelings fly
Now when I'm smiling I know why
You light up my world like the morning sun
You're so deep within me we’re almost one
And now
All the fears that I have start to fade
I was always afraid love might forget me
That love might let me down
Then look who I found
The winds might blow through me but I don't care
There's no harm in thunder if you are there
And now, now
Now when I wake there's someone home
I'll never face the nights alone
You gave me the courage I need to win
To open my heart and to let you in
And I never really knew how
Until now
Until now
No, I never really knew how
Until now
